Coach Talk

Slow Clap
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Slow Clap; our quarterback was thoroughly outclassed this past week. Dak Prescott went 22-of-32 for 302 yards and three touchdowns for 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷, and all Russell Wilson could produce was an 11-for-16 outing, with 152 yards and one passing TD. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
It's entirely possible that 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷 could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 23 targets as a group in Week 5, their six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
