Coach Talk

Jessie’s Team
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Brady Gaga at the wide receiver position (14.1 points to 5.5).
Brady Gaga
Unless Brady Gaga wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" is not a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a hearty 20 targets in Week 16. With only six total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
