Coach Talk

The Awesomeness
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, The Awesomeness. Our QB was clearly outplayed this past week. Ben Roethlisberger went 22-of-34 for 235 yards and two touchdowns for Cleveland Fan, and all Dak Prescott could produce was a 24-for-39 outing for 206 passing yards. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Cleveland Fan
Don't get too distraught, Cleveland Fan! You can feel good knowing that your kindness this week did not go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like The Awesomeness succeed... and perhaps one day, they'll return the favor by going Kicker-Defense in the first two rounds of the 2019 draft, something along those lines.
