Coach Talk

PwnStars
We're curious if the GM of PwnStars was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.54 points, Matt Prater (0-of-1 on the day) decided that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've made things just a bit too dull. Remember kids, every point matters!
Bruising Knights
A single missed field goal typically isn't cause for concern. Having said that, Jake Elliott went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Bruising Knights lost the matchup by 0.54 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
