Coach Talk

🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
You know, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound performance from Lamar Jackson, we thoroughly dominated Slow Clap at the quarterback position this past week (53.42 points to 20.1). Jackson went 18-for-29 for 218 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 37-26 win over the Patriots.
Slow Clap
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 39 targets in Week 3. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 23 receptions.
