Coach Talk

For_Champion
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to stout performances by Aaron Jones and Nick Chubb, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We absolutely dominated vampeta at running back (30.9 points to 8.6). Jones had 106 total yards and a TD, while Chubb logged 83 yards.
vampeta
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 25 targets in Week 14. With only 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
