Coach Talk

Yobogoya!
Hey, we admire the confidence, Yobogoya!. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (DeVante Parker and Graham Gano), while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky. Try those shenanigans next week and we'll be toast.
Barely Legal
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 13 times in Week 15. With just five total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
