Coach Talk

Hooked on a Thielen
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a thrilling outing from Joe Burrow, we nearly tripled Drews' Crew at the quarterback position this past week (46.1 points to 16.38). Burrow orchestrated a big victory over the Ravens, completing 37 of 46 passes for 525 yards and four touchdowns.
Drews' Crew
Drews' Crew may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a healthy 33 targets in Week 16. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 20 receptions.
