Coach Talk

Sharks
We wonder if the GM of Sharks was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 8.07 points, Tyler Bass (0-of-1 on the day) decided that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
tardy perch
A single missed field goal isn't usually a reason to be upset. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Jason Sanders went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and tardy perch lost the matchup by 8.07 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
