Coach Talk

Orange Crush
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a stellar display by Justin Herbert, we doubled up Myklz's Outstanding Team at the quarterback position this past week (26.28 points to 11.7). Herbert went 26-for-35 for 317 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 41-22 victory over the Bengals.
Myklz's Outstanding Team
Look, I've been in this industry long enough to know that every once in a while, four extra points can just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot. Keep your head up, Myklz's Outstanding Team!
