Coach Talk

JW's Bears
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Lamar Jackson, we doubled up Paul's Giant Kittens at the quarterback position this past week (111 points to 53). Jackson went 14-for-23 for 105 yards and one TD in a three-point win over the 49ers.
Paul's Giant Kittens
Paul's Giant Kittens will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 26 targets in Week 13. With just 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
