Coach Talk

Evergreen3
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by Devonta Freeman and Kareem Hunt, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Nelson E*'s Team up at the running back spot (31.2 points to 14.8). Freeman had 94 total yards and a TD, while Hunt logged 68 yards.
Nelson E*'s Team
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any real cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Greg Zuerlein goes 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and Nelson E*'s Team loses the matchup by 0.08 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
