Coach Talk

rayray
Only two field goals on four attempts? It's quite possible that Harrison Butker just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
The Alibi Room
The Alibi Room may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 35 targets in Week 14. With only 20 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
