Coach Talk

Lights Kamara Action
You know Lights Kamara Action, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 127.41 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 118.96 we needed to win this past week!
Squad Up
Unless Squad Up wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 15. With only 14 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
