Coach Talk

Next Man Up Yours
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid outing from Deshaun Watson, we thoroughly outscored OGP PLAYAS at the quarterback position this past week (24.36 points to 6.92). Watson went 22-for-28 for 294 yards and two TDs in a 29-22 win over the Jets.
OGP PLAYAS
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 15 times in Week 15. With just seven total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
