Coach Talk

REAPERS
Football is all about creating mismatches. Not only did we dominate 50ShadesOfMacyGray at WR (29.9 points to 11.5), we also nearly quadrupled them at QB (26.02 points to 6.56).
50ShadesOfMacyGray
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Brandon McManus might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
