Coach Talk

Dirty Dogs
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Dirty Dogs; our starting QB was clearly outmatched this past week. Baker Mayfield went 17-of-20 for 216 yards and three touchdowns for Nightmares, and all Andy Dalton could manage through the air was 153 yards and one passing TD (plus two ugly interceptions). We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 11!
Nightmares
With three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Nightmares should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
