Coach Talk

VIKES
We're wondering if the GM of VIKES was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.72 points, Mason Crosby (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Lynx
You can rest easy knowing that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed, Lynx. It takes a true winner to help someone like VIKES succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of defenses early in next year's draft... or something like that!
