Coach Talk

The Phantom Limbs
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by a stellar display by Josh Allen, we almost tripled The Dominators at the quarterback position this past week (37.66 points to 13.04). Allen went 28-for-40 for 359 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a 48-19 victory over the Broncos.
The Dominators
Yo, The Dominators, what'd your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only nine total targets in Week 15, our two wide receivers clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
