Coach Talk

Long Island Steelers
We're wondering if the GM of Long Island Steelers was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.52 points, Justin Tucker (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Ravens
Well, Ravens, Week 15's problem is fairly easy to identify. Going with Deebo Samuel in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
