Coach Talk

The People’s Champ
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance by Kyler Murray, we almost quadrupled AVD at the quarterback position this past week (33.14 points to 8.74). Murray went 26-for-38 for 286 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 30-15 win over the Football Team.
AVD
Our starting QB tossed an interception and not a single touchdown? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Did Daniel Jones appear rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Bears secondary just that stout defending the pass? The judgment is yours to make... AVD, as you manage your lineup for Week 3 and beyond!
