Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a thrilling outing from Jameis Winston, we almost quadrupled New York Giants at the quarterback position this past week (40.9 points to 10.24). Winston went 30-for-41 for 395 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a 34-29 loss to the Falcons.
New York Giants
Your quarterback tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Was Eli Manning actually that off-rhythm with his receivers, or was the Eagles secondary just that great against the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make... New York Giants, as you manage your lineup for Week 7 and beyond!
