Coach Talk

Megaton
Earning the win is most important, Megaton, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting QB was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Josh Allen went 30-of-47 for 314 yards and three touchdowns for Mert's Marauders, and all Tom Brady could muster was an 18-for-30 day, with 232 yards and one passing TD.
Mert's Marauders
With only one reception on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Mert's Marauders should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
