Coach Talk

Saquad City
Whoa, Saquad City, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by almost 90 points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
Underperformers Inc.
Just two makes on four field goal tries? Sounds like Matt Bryant might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
