Coach Talk

The Blaydon Racers
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar display from Jameis Winston, we tripled Go Blue at the quarterback position this past week (45 points to 15). Winston went 33-for-45 for 456 yards, four TDs, and three INTs in a three-point win over the Colts.
Go Blue
Missing a field goal isn't typically cause for concern. Having said that, Jake Elliott went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Go Blue lost the matchup by 0.5 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
