Coach Talk

So Solid Spoilers
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Our team found one this past week and doubled up spopov_k_2021 at the quarterback position (39 points to 19).
spopov_k_2021
Unless spopov_k_2021 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 21 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in just 12 catches.
