Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Washington Redskins at the wide receiver position (59 points to 21.4).
Washington Redskins
Recording just two receptions on four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Washington Redskins clearly need to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
