Coach Talk

Buffalo Bombers
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. With stout performances by Jaylen Samuels and Dalvin Cook, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We nearly tripled Go Team at running back (23.2 points to 7.8). Samuels had 64 total yards and a TD, while Cook chipped in with 108 yards.
Go Team
Logging just two targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Go Team clearly need to look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
