Coach Talk

TheNigerianNightmare
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Case in point: we really emphasized that by doubling up CommanderInChief's at running back this past week (1,353 points to 661).
CommanderInChief's
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 31 targets in Week 16. With only 19 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
