Coach Talk

Bloodlust
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Fat Samurai at the wide receiver position (41.1 points to 15.2).
Fat Samurai
Only two makes on four field goal attempts? Seems like Harrison Butker might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
