Coach Talk

eric's Team
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Ben's Besties at the wide receiver position (47.4 points to 4.6).
Ben's Besties
Hey, Ben's Besties, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just 16 total targets in Week 14, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
