Coach Talk

Imperatori iz Niš
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by a stellar outing from Kirk Cousins, we tripled Nikšica at the quarterback position this past week (28 points to 8). Cousins breezed through the Broncos defense by recording 319 yards and three passing touchdowns.
Nikšica
Look, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes free points can just magically show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright; hoping for an additional 12 points might be a bit overzealous. Keep your head up, Nikšica!
