Coach Talk

Closet of Hope-fuls
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Not only did we dominate DITKA at RB (57.6 points to 16.2), we also utterly dominated them at WR (24.4 to 5.2).
DITKA
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to get a whopping 19 targets in Week 9. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 10 catches.
