Coach Talk

Cheeseheads
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, Cheeseheads. Our wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Held back by DJ Moore (24 total yards, no TDs) and A.J. Brown (60 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 83.3 points in Week 11. The starting wideouts for BUD LIGHT doubled us up with a score of 192.4. We need to bug the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 12!
BUD LIGHT
"Not seeing many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for BUD LIGHT. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 11. With only 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
