Coach Talk

Minnesota Vikings
You know what, Minnesota Vikings, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Za'Darius Smith), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky.
Las Vegas Raiders
Your quarterback tossed three interceptions and just one touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Steelers genuinely that stout against the pass, or was Derek Carr just that sloppy from the pocket?
