Coach Talk

Blitzburgh
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we double up Crhysboys at WR (31.7 points to 15.5), we also utterly dominated them at QB (25.84 points to 9.76).
Crhysboys
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 9. With just 12 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
