Coach Talk

leader of pack
You know what, leader of pack, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes guts to roll out a starter with zero points (Austin Hooper), while still earning a win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast.
No Luck
Unless No Luck wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 23 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 14 receptions.
