Coach Talk

No Luck
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing from Dak Prescott, we utterly dominated The Hawks at the quarterback position this past week (21.37 points to 8.5). Prescott went 42-for-54 for 455 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 29-23 triumph over the Eagles.
The Hawks
Wait, our starting QB threw one interception and literally no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Did Russell Wilson appear shaky back there in the pocket, or were the Vikings just that strong against the pass? What do you think, The Hawks, do we continue to start him with confidence?
