Coach Talk

BLITZSKINZS
You know BLITZSKINZS, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 98.42 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 89.36 we needed to win this past week!
out
A single missed field goal isn't typically cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Chris Boswell went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and out lost the matchup by 0.32 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
