Coach Talk

Greg's Grinders
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid display by Joe Burrow, we royally dominated Cowboys at the quarterback position this past week (61 points to 22.55). Burrow had his way against the Falcons defense, completing 34 of 42 passes for 481 yards and three touchdowns.
Cowboys
Look, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to randomly appear out of thin air. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... hoping for an additional 43 points may be a bit on the excessive side. Keep your head held high, Cowboys!
