Coach Talk

Lou's Crew 1
We wonder if the GM of Lou's Crew 1 was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 0.2 points, Ryan Succop (1-of-2 on the day) thought that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
727
Generally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry, but talk about impeccable timing: Mason Crosby goes 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and 727 drops the matchup by 0.2 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
