Coach Talk

Cleveland Browns
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Jacksonville JAGUAR at the wide receiver position (61.9 points to 28.4).
Jacksonville JAGUAR
So, Jacksonville JAGUAR, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating just 22 total targets in Week 4, our five wide receivers clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
