Coach Talk

Hey Darnold!
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Hey Darnold!; our quarterback was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 24-of-34 for 243 yards and two touchdowns for Dak Dynasty, and all Drew Brees could manage was a 23-for-35 outing for 203 passing yards and an ugly interception. We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Dak Dynasty
Missing a field goal isn't typically cause for concern. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Brett Maher went 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and Dak Dynasty dropped the matchup by 1.5 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
