Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Listen Baltimore Ravens, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 217.01 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 157.82 we needed to win this past week!
Cleveland Browns
So, Cleveland Browns, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating only 14 targets as a group in Week 13, our six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
