Coach Talk

Jacksonville Jaguars
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Tennessee Titans at the wide receiver position (116.5 points to 31.4).
Tennessee Titans
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings this week. Zero wins and one loss for Tennessee Titans on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-fashioned when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house bean counters keep telling me that this is the kind of "correlation" we gotta stay away from.
