Coach Talk

King of the NORTH
Hey, the key to football is creating and exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Comeback Kid at the wide receiver position (51.97 points to 18.15).
Comeback Kid
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 20 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 11 catches.
