Coach Talk

Wizards
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by a solid outing by Ryan Tannehill, we royally dominated Liv by the Wvr Wire at the quarterback position this past week (29.78 points to 11.76). Tannehill went 29-for-45 for 389 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 41-35 loss to the Browns.
Liv by the Wvr Wire
Liv by the Wvr Wire may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 13. With only 18 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
