Coach Talk
MileHigh Mustangs
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, MileHigh Mustangs. Our running backs were utterly overmatched this past week. Buoyed by Devonta Freeman (24 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Miles Sanders (146 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 86.55 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for DemTruboyz doubled us up with a score of 177.65.
DemTruboyz
Unless DemTruboyz wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 15. With only 14 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
