Coach Talk

Nestle Worker 4 Life
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a solid display by Joe Burrow, we doubled up Newark Rams at the quarterback position this past week (32.5 points to 13.34). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 win over the Patriots.
Newark Rams
"Not seeing enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Newark Rams. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched just eight catches.
