Coach Talk

Invincibles
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Invincibles! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our starting QB was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 25-of-33 for 378 yards and three touchdowns for Comissioner's Team, while Kyler Murray was 29-of-54 for 308 passing yards, two scores, and an ugly interception. Let's win the QB battle in Week 2... it'll make life a lot easier for the rest of the guys on our squad!
Comissioner's Team
Two wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The five offensive skill starters on Comissioner's Team collectively gained a whopping 374 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could get into the end zone in Week 1.
