Coach Talk

Immersion
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Immersion! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting quarterback was severely outplayed this past week. Deshaun Watson went 29-of-40 for 339 yards and two touchdowns for Dez Nuts, and all Josh Allen could manage through the air was 217 yards and one passing TD (plus two ugly interceptions).
Dez Nuts
Happy holidays, Dez Nuts! We hope the GM of Immersion will write a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
