Coach Talk

K Bizzle's Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our four backfield starters put up 282 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on larry's Team (426 total yards to 144), and we wound up tripling them at the position (59.6 points to 18.4).
larry's Team
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
