Team Butthole

Thanks to a stellar showing from Kirk Cousins, we doubled up Goldmine 💣💰💣 at the quarterback position this past week (45.4 points to 22.06). Cousins went 34-for-54 for 460 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a three-point win over the Colts.
Goldmine 💣💰💣
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker might have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
