Coach Talk

CAITLYN'S KITTY
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a stellar outing from Deshaun Watson, we absolutely dominated SmokeandMirrors at the quarterback position this past week (28.56 points to 11.28). Watson went 22-for-28 for 294 yards and two TDs in a 29-22 win over the Jets.
SmokeandMirrors
"Not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for SmokeandMirrors. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 15. With only 16 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
