Coach Talk

Kayfabe
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by a stellar display from Joe Burrow, we tripled Xheryk at the quarterback position this past week (41.6 points to 13.22). Burrow orchestrated a big win over the Ravens, hitting 37 of 46 passes for 525 yards and four touchdowns.
Xheryk
Our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Was Justin Herbert actually that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or were the Texans just that strong defending the pass?
