Coach Talk

THE A-TEAM
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by Nick Chubb and Aaron Jones, our squad definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled The Brayden Bunch up at the running back position (29.9 points to 12.4). Chubb had 131 total yards while Jones logged 23 yards and two scores.
The Brayden Bunch
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 21 targets in Week 3. With just 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
