Coach Talk

Ram Thunder
This sport is all about creating mismatches. With stout performances by Cordarrelle Patterson and Najee Harris, our crew took that to heart this past week. We tripled Marc's Genius Team up at running back (45 points to 14). Patterson had 69 total yards and two TDs, while Harris logged 81 yards.
Marc's Genius Team
Producing a couple of receptions on just three measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Marc's Genius Team should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
