Coach Talk

Iron Eagle
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a thrilling showing from Joe Burrow, we quadrupled Rabbit King at the quarterback position this past week (86.56 points to 20.36). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 victory over the Patriots.
Rabbit King
Your starting QB threw one interception and not a single touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Was Andy Dalton really that off-rhythm with his receivers, or was the Browns secondary just that strong against the pass?
