Coach Talk

Black Flag
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A superb 36 completions on 44 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 82 percent for Justin Herbert this past week. The Falcons secondary didn't see it coming!.
The Football Team
Chin up, The Football Team! Look, we've been in this industry long enough to know that occasionally free points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Well, okay; finding an extra 51 points for you this past matchup probably would've required some extreme wizardry.
