Coach Talk

Montclair Movers
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a stellar performance by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Midnight Riders at the quarterback position this past week (32.74 points to 15.32). Mahomes went 36-for-41 for 336 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a six-point victory over the Texans.
Midnight Riders
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
