Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, Baltimore Ravens. Playing not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Isaiah Likely, Chris Evans, and J.K. Dobbins), while still getting a W... that's borderline cocky. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
New York Giants
Well, the blame for this close loss can be placed more heavily on the Giants coaches than on the quarterback. This week's game script called for the QB to throw only 21 pass attempts, and Daniel Jones did all he could... connecting on an outstanding 81 percent of them!
