Coach Talk

Tmux
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a thrilling showing from Drew Brees, we doubled up Club de Fútbol at the quarterback position this past week (40.06 points to 19.9). Brees was a bright spot in a tight loss to the 49ers, hitting 29 of 40 passes for 349 yards and five TDs.
