Coach Talk

Los Angeles Chargers
Listen, Los Angeles Chargers, we do admire the confidence. It takes real moxie to roll out a starter with zero points (Dre'Mont Jones), while still getting a win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Baltimore Ravens
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting backfield for Baltimore Ravens collectively logged just five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 12!
