Coach Talk

I Spygate
Hey, this sport is all about finding and exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling Ravens Nation at the wide receiver position (53.45 points to 16.1).
Ravens Nation
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any reason to worry. Having said that, Justin Tucker went 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and Ravens Nation dropped the matchup by 2.88 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
