Coach Talk

Die Happy
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Not only did we triple A Michael's Team at QB (43.92 points to 12.9), we also royally dominated them at WR (49.7 to 13.9).
A Michael's Team
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 29 times in Week 16. With just 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
