Coach Talk

X-Factor
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. In addition to quadrupling Ice Up Son! at QB (49 points to 12), we also royally dominated them at WR (56.5 to 12).
Ice Up Son!
"Not getting enough looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Ice Up Son!. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a whopping 22 targets in Week 4. With just 12 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
