Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Listen, Baltimore Ravens, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Darrell Taylor), while still earning the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
San Francisco 49'ers
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Trey Lance against the Bears this week. Zero wins and one loss for San Francisco 49'ers on the 2022 season. Usually I'm pretty old-fashioned when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but our analytics folks keep telling me that this is the sort of "correlation" we gotta stay away from.
