Coach Talk

Big Pigs
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really emphasized that by thoroughly overpowering Redskins at running back this past week (32 points to 11.7).
Redskins
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Redskins collectively registered just three receptions on five targets this past week.
