Coach Talk

Jeffelin
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing by Josh Allen, we nearly tripled Darrin's Team at the quarterback position this past week (35.24 points to 12.18). Allen went 24-for-33 for 311 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 35-32 win over the Rams.
Darrin's Team
There's still a ton of time left to turn this season around, Darrin's Team! These upcoming opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly believe they have a cakewalk. Do what Melvin Gordon III and Leonard Fournette would in this scenario and continue pounding away... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
