Iz Čikaga moji...
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Iz Čikaga moji...! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our running backs were thoroughly overmatched by the opposition. Held back by David Montgomery (49 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Devin Singletary (89 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 25 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for Fools and Horses showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 68.
Fools and Horses
Unless Fools and Horses wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in just nine receptions.
