Coach Talk

Flying Elvis
Listen Flying Elvis, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than zero points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 87.16. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
神奇De里瓦尔多
Wait, our starting QB tossed one interception and literally zero touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Did Dak Prescott appear shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Colts secondary just that good against the pass? The judgment is yours to make... 神奇De里瓦尔多, as you deploy your lineup in Week 16 and beyond!
