Coach Talk

Go Team
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to great performances by Joe Mixon and Todd Gurley II, our team took that to heart this past week. We doubled Die Happy up at running back (49.4 points to 22.5). Mixon had 130 total yards and two TDs, while Gurley II logged 124 yards and two scores.
Die Happy
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 15. With just 16 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
