Coach Talk

Jessica B's Team
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a stellar performance from Carson Wentz, we quadrupled Murphatron at the quarterback position this past week (57.72 points to 13.04). Wentz went 33-for-50 for 348 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 26-23 loss to the Titans.
Murphatron
Wait, our starting QB tossed an interception and no touchdowns? We may need to have a little debate here. Did Ryan Fitzpatrick appear flustered back there in the pocket, or were the Titans just that strong defending the pass? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make, Murphatron. The Buccaneers have a bye next week, so fortunately you have some extra time to ponder that one!
