Coach Talk

The Chupacabras
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Gfed Jets at the wide receiver position (34.4 points to 15.7).
Gfed Jets
Wait, our quarterback threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Was Derek Carr actually that out-of-tune with the receiving crew, or were the Steelers just that stout defending the pass?
