Coach Talk

My Team
Deploying a starting crew that won by nearly 15 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Matt's Notable, and continue on our way towards the Yahoo Public 86200 league championship.
Matt's Notable
Just three field goals on five attempts? Seems like Greg Zuerlein should reevaluate his pre-kick process after this performance.
