Coach Talk

Canes
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a stellar outing by Josh Allen, we almost tripled Finding Deebo at the quarterback position this past week (40.66 points to 14.04). Allen went 28-for-40 for 359 yards and two TDs in a 48-19 win over the Broncos.
Finding Deebo
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 49 times in Week 15. With just 29 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
