Coach Talk

iTS.ShAYShAy
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Cowboy at the wide receiver position (87.4 points to 33.8).
Cowboy
Unless Cowboy wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 26 targets in Week 17. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they notched just 11 catches.
