Coach Talk

FDC Chiefs
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Case in point: we really took that to heart by doubling up Warriors at running back this past week (45.5 points to 21.5).
Warriors
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 44 times in Week 13. With only 24 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
