Coach Talk

Sooners
You know what, Sooners, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Tyler Boyd), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
LambeauLeapers
Unless LambeauLeapers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 16. With only 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
