Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
You know, football is all about finding the mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Lamar Jackson, we utterly dominated Wildebeasts at the quarterback position this past week (45.26 points to 7.64). Jackson went 15-for-20 for 169 yards and five TDs in a 45-6 win over the Rams.
Wildebeasts
Even though we didn't get the win in Week 12, let's remember to give thanks for the bounty of awesomeness that is fantasy football.
