Coach Talk

New England Patriots
Whoa, New England Patriots, do you consult for SpaceX or something? Not only did you win by 66+ points, you also skyrocketed a whopping five spots to seventh place in the league standings!
Baltimore Ravens
Chin up, Baltimore Ravens! Trust us, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
