Coach Talk

Ballers
You know Ballers, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 22 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 132.66. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Big Show
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 21 times in Week 15. With just 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
