Coach Talk

Seahawks Lublin
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a thrilling outing by Josh Allen, we doubled up Rookie at the quarterback position this past week (29.18 points to 12). Allen went 33-for-46 for 312 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 27-17 win over the Jets.
Rookie
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any real cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Ryan Succop went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Rookie dropped the matchup by 2.78 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
