Coach Talk

War Pony
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid performance by Deshaun Watson, we nearly tripled Hooligans at the quarterback position this past week (37.2 points to 13.4). Watson went 18-for-25 for 234 yards and three TDs in a 28-22 win over the Patriots.
Hooligans
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Hooligans. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 13. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
