Coach Talk

Steel Reign
Only four field goals on seven attempts? In a matchup where every point mattered, Mason Crosby probably had the GM of Steel Reign sitting on the edge of their seat.
Rebel Alliance
Generally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry, but talk about impeccable timing: Graham Gano went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Rebel Alliance dropped the matchup by 0.95 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
