Coach Talk

Da Beast
Only three makes on five field goal attempts? Seems like Ka'imi Fairbairn might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
Underperformers Inc.
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Underperformers Inc.. Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 48 targets in Week 11. With just 29 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
