Coach Talk

Stars and Scrubs
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by stellar performances by Ja'Marr Chase and Davante Adams, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated Closet of Hope-fuls at wide receiver (64.2 points to 13). Chase had 266 receiving yards and three TDs while Adams logged 136 yards.
Closet of Hope-fuls
Don't beat yourself up too badly, Closet of Hope-fuls! Look, I've been in this business long enough to know that occasionally free points can just magically appear out of thin air. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright... hoping for an additional 76 points might be a bit on the excessive side.
