Coach Talk

UE Broncos
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display from Deshaun Watson, we tripled Nikšica at the quarterback position this past week (33 points to 10). Watson went 18-for-25 for 234 yards and three TDs in a 28-22 win over the Patriots.
Nikšica
Nikšica will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 18 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 10 balls.
