Coach Talk

rookiechen
Listen rookiechen, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 92.96 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 80.68 we needed to win this past week!
Jaymin
A single missed field goal isn't usually a reason to get upset, but talk about impeccable timing: Cairo Santos goes 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and Jaymin loses the matchup by 1.32 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
