Coach Talk

Bad JuJu
The key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling The Bloody Nine at the wide receiver position (41.5 points to 14.2).
The Bloody Nine
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 13. With just 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
