Coach Talk

The Mijo
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Finding Deebo at the wide receiver position (33.3 points to 5).
Finding Deebo
Unless Finding Deebo wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 28 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only 13 receptions.
