Coach Talk

BaLLCHiNiaNzzz
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Snakebitten!!
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for Snakebitten!! collectively recorded just a couple of receptions on five targets this past week.
