Coach Talk

THUNDER N LIGHTNING
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 337 more total yards than the RBs on Jeffelin (386 yards from scrimmage to only 49), as we ultimately tripled them at the position, 45.1 points to 13.4.
Jeffelin
Our starting QB threw one interception and no touchdowns? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Was Deshaun Watson actually that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Colts secondary just that stout against the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Jeffelin, as you set your lineup in Week 14 and beyond!
