Coach Talk

Billy Strings
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling No Furtadas at the wide receiver position (53.2 points to 17.7).
No Furtadas
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
