Coach Talk

Dark Brandon
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a sound outing by Jalen Hurts, we doubled up Bronco Nation North at the quarterback position this past week (36.7 points to 16.58). Hurts went 22-for-37 for 315 yards in a 25-20 win over the Bears.
Bronco Nation North
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 17 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only nine receptions.
