Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
Football is all about spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Los Angeles Rams at the wide receiver position (70.2 points to 21.8).
Los Angeles Rams
Yo, Los Angeles Rams, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? With just 19 targets as a group in Week 15, our five wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
