Coach Talk

Avenge Rā s al Ghūl
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to good performances by Joe Mixon and Phillip Lindsay, our squad definitely took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Marcus's Team at the running back spot (35.4 points to 13.5). Mixon (130 total yards and two TDs) did most of the heavy lifting, while Lindsay chipped in with 44 yards.
Marcus's Team
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 15. With just 15 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
