Coach Talk

Mota
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Our team took that to heart this past week and royally dominated Clown at the quarterback position (27.98 points to 5.5).
Clown
"Not getting enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Clown. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 37 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded only 20 catches.
