Coach Talk

Nate's Notable Team
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a thrilling showing by Jared Goff, we royally dominated Devils at the quarterback position this past week (25.7 points to 9.36). Goff went 25-for-42 for 355 yards and three TDs in a 37-23 loss to the Panthers.
Devils
Wait, our starting QB tossed three interceptions and just one touchdown? I guess we're presented with a fork in the road here. Was Derek Carr really that shaky in the pocket, or was the Steelers secondary just that good defending the pass?
