Coach Talk

YANKLERS
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, YANKLERS! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting quarterback was significantly outplayed this past week. Lamar Jackson went 14-of-23 for 131 yards and one touchdowns for Ducks Go Pro, and all Drew Brees could produce was a 23-for-35 outing for 203 passing yards and an ugly interception. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
Ducks Go Pro
Three wide receivers, three running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The seven starting offensive position players on Ducks Go Pro combined to register a healthy 463 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players was able to find paydirt in Week 15.
