Coach Talk

G'DAWG
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Our team took that to heart this past week and literally quadrupled the scoring machine at the quarterback position (58.24 points to 13.94).

Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 43 times in Week 16. With just 19 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
