Coach Talk

Jamie's Perfect Team
Hey Jamie's Perfect Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by 1.68 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 103.56. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Jack's Expert Team
Three field goal attempts, and not not even one got through the uprights? Seems like Dan Bailey might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of effort... especially with Jack's Expert Team needing every point they could possibly get in this tight matchup.
