Coach Talk

Orange Herbert
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we double up Dungy and Dragons at WR (59.7 points to 27.9), we also quadrupled them at QB (50.82 points to 12.08).
Dungy and Dragons
There's still a lot of football left to be played, Dungy and Dragons! The next few opponents may glance at the win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Do what Russell Wilson would after throwing a pick, and go deep on your next opportunity... catch these complacent GMs off-guard!
