Coach Talk

Squirrel Murphy’s
We're curious if the GM of Squirrel Murphy’s was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.92 points, Matt Prater (0-of-1 on the day) thought that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
Hammerheads
Sorry Hammerheads, but the blame for this close loss can be placed more heavily on the Ravens coaches than anything else. The gameplan led to the QB firing off only 24 passes against the Texans. Lamar Jackson did what he could, successfully finding his target on a staggering 75 percent of them!
