Coach Talk

Judge Jeudy
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Judge Jeudy... our QB was significantly outclassed this past week. Josh Allen went 26-of-31 for 297 yards and three touchdowns for Balls Deep, and all Tom Brady could put up was an 18-for-27 outing, with 212 yards and one passing TD. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Balls Deep
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any reason to worry. Having said that, Wil Lutz went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Balls Deep dropped the matchup by 0.37 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
