Coach Talk

Red Cocks
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome performance by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Panzer division at the quarterback position this past week (33.32 points to 14.92). Mahomes orchestrated a big victory over the Jaguars, completing 25 of 33 passes for 378 yards and three TDs.
Panzer division
Keep your chin up, Panzer division! Look, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that occasionally four extra points can just magically appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried.
