Coach Talk

We Were Skoldiers
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar outing from Kirk Cousins, we utterly dominated Quaran-TEAM at the quarterback position this past week (26.18 points to 5.02). Cousins orchestrated a Vikings win over the Panthers, going 34-of-45 for 307 yards and three passing TDs.
Quaran-TEAM
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 18 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group managed just eight receptions.
