Coach Talk

Horn Hi Yo
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar outing by Philip Rivers, we tripled Thomas and the Tank at the quarterback position this past week (35.06 points to 10.46). Rivers went 16-for-22 for 314 yards and three TDs in a 45-10 triumph over the Jaguars.
Thomas and the Tank
Our quarterback threw three interceptions and only two touchdowns? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Did Kyler Murray appear rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Steelers secondary just that stout against the pass?
