Coach Talk

The Cardiac Comeback
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by a thrilling performance from Kyler Murray, we doubled up Springfield Atoms at the quarterback position this past week (44 points to 21). Murray went 21-for-32 for 289 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 38-13 victory over the Titans.
Springfield Atoms
Look, Springfield Atoms, we've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes (*cough cough*, Week 1) they don't! Hmmm, alright... perhaps asking for an additional 14 points is a bit much.
