Coach Talk

Beetles mom
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by a stellar outing from Deshaun Watson, we thoroughly outscored American Hustle at the quarterback position this past week (33.76 points to 9.48). Watson went 27-for-39 for 279 yards and three TDs in a three-point victory over the Raiders.
American Hustle
Posting only three catches on five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for American Hustle clearly should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
