Coach Talk

Ravi's Team
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by a solid outing from Andrew Luck, we absolutely dominated BLESS HIM at the quarterback position this past week (24.56 points to 3.7). Luck went 27-for-41 for 399 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a three-point win over the Texans.
BLESS HIM
Unless BLESS HIM wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 22 times in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 13 balls.
