Coach Talk

The Foxx Force
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to solid performances by Phillip Lindsay and Saquon Barkley, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outscored Schmo and Cows at the running back spot (42.5 points to 16.9). Lindsay had 159 total yards and two TDs, while Barkley chipped in with 146 yards.
Schmo and Cows
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 29 targets in Week 13. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group hauled in only 17 receptions.
