Coach Talk

DA nigga
We're curious if the GM of DA nigga was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.3 points, Greg Zuerlein (1-for-2 on the day) thought that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've made things just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
ND IRISH
Well, this tight loss can be attributed more to the Rams coaching staff than anything else. The gameplan against the Cardinals led to the QB attempting just 24 passes. Jared Goff did his part, completing a spectacular 79 percent of them!
