Coach Talk

Cleveland Nextyears
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling showing from Josh Allen, we doubled up Bakatari at the quarterback position this past week (45.25 points to 21.75). Allen went 28-for-40 for 359 yards and two TDs in a 48-19 win over the Broncos.
Bakatari
Tis the season, Bakatari! We hope the GM of Cleveland Nextyears will write a thank-you card for the generous 135.35-point gift this past week.
