Coach Talk

Tin Cup
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a stellar performance from Jared Goff, we doubled up Jimmy's Team at the quarterback position this past week (32.73 points to 15.7). Goff went 28-for-40 for 391 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 45-35 loss to the Saints.
Jimmy's Team
With just a pair of receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Jimmy's Team clearly should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
