Coach Talk

NoFatChicks
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display from Joe Burrow, we doubled up B E A S T at the quarterback position this past week (26.8 points to 11.5). Burrow went 27-for-39 for 200 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.

Happy holidays, B E A S T! We hope the GM of NoFatChicks will send a thank-you card for the generous 116.3-point gift this past week.
