Coach Talk

Da Purps
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's not really any other way for us to spin this, Da Purps. Our QB was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Tom Brady went 28-of-42 for 348 yards and three touchdowns for Pat's Unmatched Team, and all Carson Wentz could put up was a 17-for-29 outing, with 189 yards and one passing TD. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
Pat's Unmatched Team
With a couple of catches on only three measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Pat's Unmatched Team should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
