Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Listen Philadelphia Eagles, the good news is that we won this matchup by 60.68 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 11 weeks was 214.76. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
V Miami Dolphins
There's a possibility that V Miami Dolphins could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only six total targets in Week 12, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
