Coach Talk

TBoB
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to stellar outings by CeeDee Lamb and Stefon Diggs, our team really took that to heart this past week. We nearly tripled MoMoney at wide receiver (34.72 points to 11.9). Lamb had 85 receiving yards while Diggs chipped in with 147 yards.
MoMoney
Tis the season, MoMoney! We hope the GM of TBoB will pen a thank-you card for the generous 101.9-point gift this past week.
