Coach Talk

Matt's Magnificent Team
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up AZ CARDS at the wide receiver position (47.9 points to 22.78).
AZ CARDS
Yo, AZ CARDS, what did your pass-catchers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just 19 targets as a group in Week 15, our starting receiver crew (five WR, one TE) obviously got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
