Coach Talk

AC/DC Anarchy
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid performance by Lamar Jackson, we royally dominated DA BEARS at the quarterback position this past week (38.13 points to 8.43). Jackson went 20-for-31 for 238 yards and three TDs in a 31-15 win over the Browns.
DA BEARS
DA BEARS may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 34 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 17 receptions.
