Coach Talk

Chic Magnet
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Fins4Life at the wide receiver position (93.25 points to 45.5).
Fins4Life
Only two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
