Coach Talk

Wish A MF Would
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying THE CIRCLE at the wide receiver position (83 points to 31).
THE CIRCLE
Sam Darnold tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? Halloween may be upon us, but that type of performance is just a little too ghoulish for our liking.
