Coach Talk

Mike’s Crew
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Not only did we dominate Arizona Golub at WR (43.7 points to 16.7), we also almost tripled them at RB (30.1 to 10.5).
Arizona Golub
Unless Arizona Golub wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 24 targets in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group managed just 14 receptions.
