Coach Talk

Good Toast
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We quadrupled Mahom-y Cheetah at wide receiver (34.9 points to 8.4). Antonio Brown had 154 receiving yards while Julian Edelman logged 25 yards.
Mahom-y Cheetah
Unless Mahom-y Cheetah wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 14 times in Week 13. With only six total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
