Coach Talk

What?!
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up LambeauLeapers at the wide receiver position (31.5 points to 14).
LambeauLeapers
Three wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The six offensive position starters on LambeauLeapers collectively gained a whopping 414 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players could get into the end zone in Week 17.
