Coach Talk

Rock Z06's Rad Team
Hey, the key to football is creating and exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by an awesome outing from Joe Burrow, we royally dominated ItsACatch at the quarterback position this past week (25.5 points to 9.86). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a four-point victory over the Patriots.
ItsACatch
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any real cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Tyler Bass went 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and ItsACatch dropped the matchup by 0.64 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
