Coach Talk

Luke Skywokka
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a thrilling showing from Drew Brees, we thoroughly outplayed Bad JuJu at the quarterback position this past week (29.28 points to 6.3). Brees was impeccable in a blowout win over the Colts, hitting 29 of 30 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns.
Bad JuJu
With two receptions on only three targets this past week, the starting RBs for Bad JuJu should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
