Coach Talk

Cincinnati Bengals
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Miami Dolphins at the wide receiver position (53.1 points to 19.3).
Miami Dolphins
Unless Miami Dolphins wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 4. With just 12 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
