Coach Talk

PkrBkr
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? With stout performances by Todd Gurley II and Adrian Peterson, our squad made that a point of emphasis this past week. We absolutely dominated Seahawks at running back (35.9 points to 13.5). Gurley II had 38 total yards and two TDs, while Peterson logged 91 yards.
Seahawks
Unless Seahawks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down just 15 balls.
