Coach Talk

DC Cowboys
Hey, now that's what we're lookin' for! A completion percentage of 80% this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Deshaun Watson. The Colts secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of DC Cowboys has got to be grateful for that precision and attention to detail.
Gladiators
Tis the season, Gladiators! We hope the GM of DC Cowboys will write a thank-you card for the generous 83-point gift this past week.
