Coach Talk

HUNGRY DOG
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Joe Burrow, we nearly tripled Yokels at the quarterback position this past week (37.9 points to 13.68). Burrow orchestrated a Bengals win over the Saints, hitting 28 of 37 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns.
Yokels
Don't get too discouraged, Yokels! The good news is that there's still a boatload of time left to turn this season around. Your upcoming opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they've got an easy matchup. Use that to your advantage and deploy the best possible starting lineups... catch these complacent GMs off-guard!
