Coach Talk

Firestorm
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound performance by Lamar Jackson, we doubled up Blue Skywalker at the quarterback position this past week (41.48 points to 17.12). Jackson went 17-for-24 for 222 yards and four TDs in a 41-7 win over the Texans.
Blue Skywalker
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Dwight Howard free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Austin Seibert might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following that sort of effort.
