Coach Talk

Brewmasters
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound display by Kyler Murray, we royally dominated Rebel Alliance at the quarterback position this past week (28.95 points to 5.25). Murray went 23-for-32 for 207 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 26-16 win over the Panthers.
Rebel Alliance
Your starting QB tossed one interception and no touchdowns? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here: Did Marcus Mariota appear rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Browns just that strong against the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Rebel Alliance?
