Coach Talk

2 Gurleys 1 Kupp
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield put up 157 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Kosi Bears (246 total yards to 89), as we ultimately tripled them at the position (30.6 points to 8.9).
Kosi Bears
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Joey Slye might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
