Coach Talk

The Little Dingy's
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to an awesome display by Joe Burrow, we doubled up The Dream Team at the quarterback position this past week (34.7 points to 14.58). Burrow went 24-for-39 for 355 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a 37-30 win over the Steelers.
