Coach Talk

Immersion
Good work, Immersion. Kudos on assembling a lineup that netted more than 102 points in Week 3. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 4.
chicago bears
Look, we've been at it long enough to know that sometimes seven extra points will just randomly come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! Keep pushing forward and good things will eventually happen. Keep your chin up, chicago bears!
