RaferAlston11's Team come up short of projections, succumb to huskers in 104.38-72.72 landslide

Coach Talk

huskers
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, huskers. Our quarterback was utterly outmatched this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 23-of-30 for 258 yards and three touchdowns for RaferAlston11's Team, and all Matthew Stafford could manage through the air was 197 yards and one passing TD (plus three ugly interceptions).
RaferAlston11's Team
Unless RaferAlston11's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" can't be a valid excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (two WR and two TE) were targeted a respectable 31 times in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in just 18 receptions.
