Coach Talk

Hen Unit
Well done, Hen Unit. Fielding a team that recorded more than 147 points in Week 1. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into what might be a favorable matchup in Week 2.
Hell Awaits
Just three field goals on five attempts? Seems like Greg Zuerlein should reevaluate his pre-kick process after this effort.
