Coach Talk

Landen's Legit Team
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Landen's Legit Team. Our starting QB was significantly overmatched this past week. Justin Herbert went 22-of-32 for 314 yards and two touchdowns for The Professor, and all Russell Wilson could manage was an 18-for-27 outing, with 121 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception).
The Professor
Posting just four targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for The Professor should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
