Coach Talk

The Phantom Limbs
You know, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Diddy at the wide receiver position (61 points to 25.4).
Diddy
Missing a field goal isn't usually a reason to get upset, but talk about impeccable timing: Greg Zuerlein goes 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and Diddy loses the matchup by 1.56 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
