Coach Talk

Denver Broncos
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield put up 141 more total yards than the RBs on Geonosis Bay Packers (173 yards from scrimmage to just 32), and we wound up utterly dominating them at the position (49.3 points to 3.2).
Geonosis Bay Packers
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our seven pass-catchers (five WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 38 times in Week 12. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 21 catches.
