Coach Talk

Saquon This
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, Saquon This... our quarterback was clearly outclassed this past week. Josh Allen went 24-of-33 for 311 yards and four touchdowns for Uncrowned Champ, and all Lamar Jackson could manage was a 15-for-28 day, with 97 yards and one passing TD. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Uncrowned Champ
All of the cake, none of the icing: The seven offensive skill starters (four RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Uncrowned Champ combined to record a healthy 464 total yards. Not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 3.
