Coach Talk

Axel Foley*
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single throw, planned meticulously and executed to perfection. And the final result? A staggering 37 completions on 46 attempts... good enough for an 80 percent completion percentage for Joe Burrow this past week. The Ravens secondary didn't see it coming!.
The Outsider
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied just 14 catches.
