Coach Talk

Josh's Team
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by good production out of the backfield, our team took that to heart this past week. We doubled Miller Time TD's up at the running back spot (38.7 points to 16.4). Miles Sanders did most of the heavy lifting (172 total yards and two TDs), while Devonta Freeman chipped in with 55 yards.
Miller Time TD's
Our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Were the Packers really that stout against the pass, or was Mitchell Trubisky just that inaccurate from the pocket?
