Coach Talk

GloriouslyVictorious
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up The Mijo at the wide receiver position (40.2 points to 19.7).
The Mijo
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't anything to really be worried about, but talk about impeccable timing: Younghoe Koo went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and The Mijo lost the matchup by 0.96 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
