Coach Talk

Sleeper pix
Listen Sleeper pix, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 133.1 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 128.96 we needed for this past week's win!
The Ertz Lockett
So, The Ertz Lockett, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Seeing just four total targets this past week, our two wide receivers clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
