Coach Talk

matthew's Nifty Team
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid display by Joe Burrow, we almost quadrupled Pandemonium at the quarterback position this past week (38.1 points to 9.68). Burrow lit the Ravens defense up to the tune of 525 yards and four passing touchdowns.
Pandemonium
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Pandemonium collectively registered a couple of catches on just three measly targets this past week.
