Coach Talk

Rush the Fields
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our four starting backs tallied 222 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Mahomes' Marauders (390 total yards to 168), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 59.5 points to 28.8.
Mahomes' Marauders
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity didn't go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Rush the Fields succeed this week... and perhaps one day, they can return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something along those lines). Keep pushing forward, Mahomes' Marauders!
