Coach Talk

Purple Bishops
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling showing from Kirk Cousins, we thoroughly outplayed Aggieland Chuggers at the quarterback position this past week (30.16 points to 6.5). Cousins lit the Giants defense up to the tune of 299 yards and three passing touchdowns.
Aggieland Chuggers
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group notched just 11 receptions.
