Coach Talk

K2
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a sound showing from Joe Burrow, we quadrupled Derrick Rose at the quarterback position this past week (25.8 points to 6.02). Burrow went 27-for-39 for 200 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 34-23 victory over the Buccaneers.
Derrick Rose
Our quarterback threw an interception and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Was Tyler Huntley actually that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Browns just that strong defending the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Derrick Rose, as you deploy your lineup for Week 16 and beyond!
