Coach Talk

Andrew's Team
Hey, this sport is all about recognizing the mismatches, right? Fueled by great performances by Saquon Barkley and Nick Chubb, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Slap The Chef up at running back (25.2 points to 10.3). Barkley had 77 total yards and a TD, while Chubb chipped in with 115 yards.
Slap The Chef
Just three field goals on five attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker should reevaluate his pre-kick process after that sort of effort... especially since Slap The Chef needed every point possible in this tight matchup.
