Coach Talk

Thoroughbreds
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Carl's Crew at the wide receiver position (56.1 points to 22.3).
Carl's Crew
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any real cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Matt Gay goes 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Carl's Crew loses the matchup by 2.1 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
