Golds took a 36.4-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar efforts from David Montgomery (9.5 points) and Tyreek Hill (8.7).

Coach Talk

TheMuffinStuffers
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, TheMuffinStuffers. Deploying a starter with zero points (Dalvin Cook), while still earning a win... that's borderline arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Ligers and we'll be toast.
L.A. Golds
One touchdown and two interceptions for Trevor Lawrence against the Cardinals this week. One win and two losses for L.A. Golds on the 2021 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to these fancy numbers... but my analytics folks keep saying they're not thrilled about this matching 2-to-1 INT-to-TD, Loss-to-Win ratio!
