Coach Talk

Eponas
Hey, football is all about creating and exploiting the mismatches, right? With great performances by Christian McCaffrey and Damien Williams, our team took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated west36fan's Team at running back (45.4 points to 4.5). McCaffrey had 209 total yards and two TDs, while Williams logged 65 yards.
west36fan's Team
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Adam Vinatieri might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
