Coach Talk

Word Bearers Legion
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Lamar Jackson, we doubled up Younghoe Foxx at the quarterback position this past week (25.6 points to 12.16). Jackson went 16-for-25 for 145 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 24-17 victory over the Bills.
Younghoe Foxx
Younghoe Foxx may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 26 targets in Week 14. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group managed just 16 catches.
