Coach Talk

Censored Clowns
You know, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling display by Philip Rivers, we nearly tripled Russell Wilson's War at the quarterback position this past week (27.96 points to 10.04). Rivers went 26-for-36 for 299 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a three-point triumph over the Steelers.

Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 20 targets in Week 13. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded just 12 receptions.
