Coach Talk

The Dogs of War
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid showing by Aaron Rodgers, we nearly quadrupled DARC NARC at the quarterback position this past week (37.35 points to 9.85). Rodgers went 22-for-27 for 255 yards and four TDs in a 35-17 triumph over the Lions.
DARC NARC
