Coach Talk

Neil039
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by a thrilling showing by Patrick Mahomes, we thoroughly outplayed Indrid Cold at the quarterback position this past week (25.55 points to 5.33). Mahomes went 26-for-47 for 254 yards and three TDs in a 32-29 victory over the Saints.
Indrid Cold
Tis the season, Indrid Cold! We hope the GM of Neil039 will write a thank-you card for the generous 93.06-point gift this past week.
