Coach Talk

Devils
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Jalen Hurts, we thoroughly outscored Nate's Notable Team at the quarterback position this past week (36.7 points to 14.08). Hurts went 22-for-37 for 315 yards in a 25-20 win over the Bears.
Nate's Notable Team
Just one make on three field goal tries? Sounds like Justin Tucker might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
