Coach Talk

Lamar Latrell Jackson
Earning the win is most important, Lamar Latrell Jackson, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our quarterback was significantly outplayed this past week. Joe Burrow went 40-of-52 for 375 yards and three touchdowns for NUK SKYYwalker, and all Deshaun Watson could manage through the air was 135 passing yards.
NUK SKYYwalker
"Not seeing enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for NUK SKYYwalker. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 35 targets in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they managed just 16 receptions.
