Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Our squad took that to heart this past week and doubled up Michigan Panthers at the quarterback position (55.78 points to 22.78).
Michigan Panthers
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched only 13 catches.
