Coach Talk

Minnie Mouser
Listen Minnie Mouser, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 301.32 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 293.88 we needed for this past week's win!
Joe's Team
Unless Joe's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 15. With only 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
