Coach Talk

☠
Props on assembling a lineup that won by more than 26 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 16.
Jesus Was A JuJu
Jesus Was A JuJu may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 15. With just 17 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
