Coach Talk

Michael Scott
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Michael Scott! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting QB was thoroughly overmatched this past week. Jameis Winston went 33-of-45 for 456 yards and four touchdowns for Tyler's Tip-Top Team, and all Aaron Rodgers could manage through the air was 195 yards and one passing TD. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
Tyler's Tip-Top Team
A single missed field goal normally isn't cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Greg Zuerlein goes 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and Tyler's Tip-Top Team loses the matchup by 2.9 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
