Coach Talk

Jersey Giants
Hey Jersey Giants, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 13 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through five weeks was 107.66. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
