Coach Talk

Bronco Nation North
Listen, Bronco Nation North, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes guts to deploy a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning a win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Chubb’s Chargers
With only a couple of catches this past week, the starting running backs for Chubb’s Chargers clearly should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
