Coach Talk

Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. In addition to doubling up The Dominators at RB (30.1 points to 12.7), we also almost tripled them at WR (26.9 to 9).
The Dominators
Unless The Dominators wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not a valid excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a whopping 33 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group tallied only 20 catches.
