Coach Talk

Robin
You know Robin, the good news is that we won this matchup by 6.58 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 12 stood at 104.39. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
tails
Look, we've been at it long enough to know that every once in a while, seven extra points can just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot. Keep your head held high, tails!
