From the episode

Sauce particularly does not match up with Zay Flowers. That's the worst style of wide receiver for him to cover. And they don't – Zay Flowers is on another planet from what he's going to see from Kansas City out there.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Flowers faces much better cornerback matchup vs. KC than Baltimore's Sauce Gardner.

Zay Flowers is on a significantly better matchup in Week 2 against Kansas City than he faced against Baltimore in Week 1. Sauce Gardner does not match up well with Flowers' style of wide receiver; Gardner's coverage profile is poorly suited to Flowers' skill set. Flowers is described as being 'on another planet' compared to the cornerback coverage he will face from Kansas City, suggesting a major upgrade in receiving opportunity and production potential.
