Coach Talk

Mikey C's Team
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we really emphasized that by thoroughly dominating Atlanta Falcons at running back this past week (40.9 points to 5.9).
Atlanta Falcons
Talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for Atlanta Falcons collectively recorded a pair of receptions on only three measly targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 15!
