Coach Talk

High Fives
We're curious if the GM of High Fives was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.5 points, Stephen Gostkowski (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember folks, every point matters!
Tachov Titans
Tachov Titans may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 23 times in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 13 receptions.
