Coach Talk

CommanderInChief's
We wonder if the GM of CommanderInChief's was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 31 points, Kai Forbath (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
TheNigerianNightmare
Generally, a single missed field goal isn't anything to really be worried about. Having said that, Wil Lutz went 4-for-5 on FGs instead of 5-for-5, and TheNigerianNightmare dropped the matchup by 31 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
