Coach Talk
NettieC's Neat Team
The key to success in football is finding the mismatches. Thanks to stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Maria's Team at wide receiver (36.4 points to 13.6). DeAndre Hopkins had 170 receiving yards and two TDs while Josh Gordon logged 19 yards.
Maria's Team
Look, Maria's Team, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, okay... perhaps asking for an additional 18 points is a little much.
