Coach Talk

Kane
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance by Joe Burrow, we thoroughly outplayed Crybaby Cannon Carter at the quarterback position this past week (29.5 points to 11.26). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 win over the Patriots.
Crybaby Cannon Carter
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Crybaby Cannon Carter. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in only 16 receptions.
