Coach Talk

Diddy
Football is all about identifying (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Stars and Scrubs at the wide receiver position (38.4 points to 19).
Stars and Scrubs
Only three makes on five field goal attempts? Sounds like Greg Zuerlein should reevaluate his pre-kick process after this effort.
