Coach Talk

the scoring machine
Nice job, the scoring machine. Putting together a starting crew that earned almost 95 points this past matchup... we'll maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 16 matchup.
texanformers
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for texanformers. Our five wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 15. With only 19 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
