Coach Talk

Pain and Suffering
Whoa, the Ravens defense didn't see it coming! 37 completions on 46 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 80% for Joe Burrow. We know the GM of Pain and Suffering is thankful for this type of attention to detail.
Bring It!
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 24 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group pulled down only 13 receptions.
