Coach Talk

LIL PENNY
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Aaron Rodgers, we doubled up Brooklyn Bandits at the quarterback position this past week (26 points to 11). Rodgers went 24-for-34 for 202 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a two-point victory over the Browns.
Brooklyn Bandits
With only one catch on three measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Brooklyn Bandits should remind their QBs to dump it down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
