Coach Talk

TC's Goon Squad
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by an awesome performance by Kyler Murray, we nearly tripled Kevin Shea's Team at the quarterback position this past week (35 points to 12). Murray went 27-for-36 for 406 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 33-26 win over the Eagles.
Kevin Shea's Team
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catchers (one WR, one TE) combined to receive a respectable 12 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they managed only seven receptions.
