Coach Talk

Baker Mayfield
You know Baker Mayfield, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 101.49 points through Week 13, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 89.22 we needed for this past week's win!
左仁佳's Team
Here's a list of scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Chris Boswell may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
