Coach Talk

Bronco Nation North
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? With solid performances by Derrick Henry and Giovani Bernard, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly dominated MAGAtron at the running back position (48.12 points to 6.16). Henry had 152 total yards and a TD, while Bernard logged 97 yards and two scores.
MAGAtron
Unless MAGAtron wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 27 targets in Week 15. With only 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
