Coach Talk

TonyRomo
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound outing by Lamar Jackson, we thoroughly outscored Canton Thug at the quarterback position this past week (18.98 points to 3.7). Jackson went 13-for-24 for 147 yards and two TDs in a 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.
Canton Thug
Producing only one single target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Canton Thug clearly need to investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
