Coach Talk

Destiny Destroyers
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Tennessee Lightning at RB (52.5 points to 21.5), we also thoroughly dominated them at WR (35.5 to 3.5).
Tennessee Lightning
Unless Tennessee Lightning wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" cannot be an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 15 targets in Week 14. With only five total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
