Coach Talk

💰Get Money💰
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a thrilling performance by Joe Burrow, we thoroughly dominated Italian Stallions at the quarterback position this past week (44.1 points to 12.58). Burrow orchestrated a Bengals win over the Saints, going 28-of-37 for 300 yards and three passing TDs.
Italian Stallions
Unless Italian Stallions wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 6. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group tallied only 19 receptions.
