Coach Talk

DeKaylin Zecharius
You know, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling showing from Dak Prescott, we utterly dominated The Mad Scientist at the quarterback position this past week (39.8 points to 15.7). Prescott went 34-for-47 for 450 yards, one TD, and no INTs in a 40-39 victory over the Falcons.
The Mad Scientist
So, The Mad Scientist, what'd your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With just 15 targets as a group in Week 2, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
