Coach Talk

Wicked Clowns
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a stellar performance from Kyler Murray, we thoroughly dominated Dee's Wonderful Team at the quarterback position this past week (33.14 points to 6.7). Murray went 27-for-36 for 406 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 33-26 victory over the Eagles.
Dee's Wonderful Team
Dee's Wonderful Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 16 receptions.
