Coach Talk

Earth-99 StL Rams
A big key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart by thoroughly dominating Sunnydale Scoobies at running back this past week (27.6 points to 10.4).
Sunnydale Scoobies
Unless Sunnydale Scoobies wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 17. With just 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
