Coach Talk

Desperado Cowboys
Hey now Desperado Cowboys, that's what we like to see! A solid 36 completions on 44 attempts this past go round for Mr. Efficient... Uh, sorry, I mean Justin Herbert. The Falcons secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of Desperado Cowboys is thankful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
Rodney B's Team
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Dwight Howard free throws. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
