Coach Talk

The Man
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated Herb Utsmells at wide receiver (42.9 points to 16.3). Antonio Brown had 185 receiving yards and two TDs while Chris Godwin chipped in with 39 yards.
Herb Utsmells
"Not getting many chances" isn't a viable excuse this week for Herb Utsmells. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 17 times in Week 16. With just seven total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
