Coach Talk

BYE WEEK
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a thrilling display from Justin Herbert, we royally dominated TBD at the quarterback position this past week (35.26 points to 4.46). Herbert went 26-for-34 for 279 yards and three TDs in a five-point win over the Raiders.
TBD
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Dak Prescott against the Buccaneers this week. Zero wins and one loss for TBD on the 2022 season. Normally I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but the internal analytics folks keep hitting me up, saying that this is the kind of "correlation" we gotta stay away from.
