Coach Talk

Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Hey, it's good to be confident, Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Deploying a starter with zero points (Marquise Goodwin), while still getting a win... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Sargeant Slaughter
Unless Sargeant Slaughter wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not a valid excuse this time around. Our five wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 16. With just 17 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
