Coach Talk

Konan Packers
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Worthy's Broncos at the wide receiver position (16.38 points to 3.55).
Worthy's Broncos
Unless Worthy's Broncos wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just five receptions.
