Coach Talk

Slippery Mullion
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Cleveland Steamers at the wide receiver position (44.5 points to 16.9).
Cleveland Steamers
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 14. With only 15 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
