Coach Talk

The Goodell Gestapo
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to stellar production from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated Oakland 2 Vegas at wide receiver (693 points to 128). Antonio Brown had 185 receiving yards and two TDs while Adam Thielen chipped in with 80 yards.
Oakland 2 Vegas
Unless Oakland 2 Vegas wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 17 targets in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group notched just 10 receptions.
