Coach Talk

What?!
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put this, What?!. Our starting wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. DJ Moore (49 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 11 points in Week 4. The starting wideouts for Gridiron Gladiators showed us up by recording a score of 28.5. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Gridiron Gladiators
Listen, Gridiron Gladiators, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes seven extra points will just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you tried.
