Coach Talk

PIERMONSTERS
Yo, PIERMONSTERS, have you been practicing any gymnastics lately? In addition to a 52.5-point victory, you also vaulted over four other teams to third place in the league standings!
Blitz and Glamour
Your starting QB threw one interception and not a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Was Daniel Jones really that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Cowboys secondary just that strong defending the pass? What do you think, Blitz and Glamour... should we continue to deploy him with confidence?
