Coach Talk

Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man
Hey, it's good to be confident, Rain☔ tampa bay ☔man. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Sean Lee), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast!
Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and two TE) were targeted a whopping 47 times in Week 14. With only 27 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
