Coach Talk

Tommy P
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling display by Josh Allen, we almost tripled Simmons at the quarterback position this past week (45.25 points to 15.25). Allen went 28-for-40 for 359 yards and two TDs in a 48-19 win over the Broncos.
Simmons
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 30 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied just 18 receptions.
