Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Putting together a lineup that won by more than 81 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 14.
Denver Broncos
Unless Denver Broncos wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 23 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 13 balls.
