Coach Talk

Peaky Blinders
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a stellar display by Deshaun Watson, we doubled up Somesasshole at the quarterback position this past week (43.92 points to 18.7). Watson went 33-for-41 for 373 yards and two TDs in a 27-20 loss to the Colts.
