Coach Talk

My Diggs Tiny
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart by thoroughly dominating Megaton at running back this past week (37.7 points to 14.7).
Megaton
Unless Megaton wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 35 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group recorded just 19 receptions.
