Coach Talk

Keith's Superb Team
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Team TAZ at the wide receiver position (38.5 points to 15.2).
Team TAZ
A single missed field goal typically isn't cause for concern. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Evan McPherson goes 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Team TAZ drops the matchup by 1.2 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
