Coach Talk

GB Packers (JP)
This sport is all about creating mismatches. In addition to doubling up Los Angeles Rams at QB (13 points to 6), we also utterly dominated them at RB (16 to 6).
Los Angeles Rams
With just three catches on five targets this past week, the starting RBs for Los Angeles Rams should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
