Coach Talk

prespLAy
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound outing from Joe Burrow, we doubled up Warriors of Angels at the quarterback position this past week (47 points to 22). Burrow went 27-for-39 for 200 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 34-23 triumph over the Buccaneers.
Warriors of Angels
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group managed only 11 catches.
