Coach Talk

Gronkey Kong
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid showing by Jalen Hurts, we thoroughly outplayed Voltron Vikings at the quarterback position this past week (36.7 points to 14.06). Hurts went 22-for-37 for 315 yards in a 25-20 win over the Bears.
Voltron Vikings
Just one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Justin Tucker may have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after this effort... especially since Voltron Vikings needed every possible point in this narrow matchup.
