Coach Talk

FDC Chiefs
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a sound display by Joe Burrow, we nearly tripled ExigentCircumstances at the quarterback position this past week (25.35 points to 9). Burrow went 26-for-37 for 249 yards and two TDs in a 31-20 victory over the Titans.
ExigentCircumstances
Missing a field goal isn't usually a reason to be upset. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Greg Zuerlein went 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and ExigentCircumstances lost the matchup by 0.5 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
