Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by stellar showings by Adam Thielen and Michael Thomas, our team really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Wildebeasts at wide receiver (38 points to 16.4). Thielen had 55 receiving yards while Thomas logged 54 yards.
Wildebeasts
A lot of cake, no icing: The four starting offensive skill players (two WRs, one RB, one TE) on Wildebeasts collectively gained a whopping 254 total yards. Not one of those players was able to score a touchdown in Week 3.
