Coach Talk

Nick
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling showing by Drew Brees, we almost tripled Underground Kings at the quarterback position this past week (32.5 points to 11). Brees went 22-for-25 for 265 yards and three TDs in a 51-14 win over the Bengals.
Underground Kings
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? I suppose we're presented with a fork in the road here: Did Ryan Fitzpatrick appear shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Redskins secondary just that stout defending the pass? What do you think, Underground Kings, do we continue to start him with confidence?
