Coach Talk

Lickalottapus
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We not only doubled up mE at WR (32 points to 16), we also doubled them at QB (31.3 points to 14.38).
mE
Just one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Matt Prater may have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of effort.
