Coach Talk

Channel 4 News Team
Hey Channel 4 News Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 14 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 85.36. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Hung Midget
Unless Hung Midget wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is not a viable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 31 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 17 receptions.
