Coach Talk

Balmain Forever
You know what, Balmain Forever, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes a special kind of guts to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Will Fuller V and Lamar Miller), while still getting the win.
Deep Ballin'
The problem in Week 16 isn't exactly rocket science, Deep Ballin'. Going with the Kansas City Chiefs defense in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again.
