Coach Talk

El Capitán
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way for us to spin this, El Capitán. Our QB was significantly outplayed this past week. Ryan Tannehill went 21-of-27 for 273 yards and three touchdowns for Ball Squanchers, and all Russell Wilson could manage through the air was 121 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception).
Ball Squanchers
Happy holidays, Ball Squanchers! We hope the GM of El Capitán will write a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
