Coach Talk

Red Dawgs
Whoa, the Falcons secondary didn't know what hit 'em! 34 completions on 42 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 81 percent for Joe Burrow. We know the GM of Red Dawgs has gotta be thankful for this type of attention to detail.
My Team
Well, Week 7's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, My Team. Choosing to start Justin Jefferson and Jalen Hurts in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied nearly 119 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
