Coach Talk

Losers Bracket
Football is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by an awesome outing by Josh Allen, we tripled DJ Moore Cowbell at the quarterback position this past week (32.3 points to 10.66). Allen had his way against the Patriots defense, hitting 27 of 36 passes for 320 yards and four TDs.
DJ Moore Cowbell
DJ Moore Cowbell may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 42 times in Week 16. With just 25 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
