Coach Talk

Saltyy's Chargers
Whoa, that Falcons secondary didn't see it coming! 36 connections on 44 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 82 percent for Justin Herbert. We know the GM of Saltyy's Chargers has gotta be appreciative of this type of attention to detail.
Law’s Squad
Wait, our starting QB threw three interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Did Matt Ryan seem shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Chargers secondary just that strong against the pass?
