Coach Talk

Slippy Lippy
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound showing from Joe Burrow, we doubled up Gary Busey at the quarterback position this past week (32.8 points to 16.08). Burrow went 27-for-39 for 200 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 34-23 victory over the Buccaneers.
Gary Busey
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 29 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed just 15 receptions.
