Coach Talk

DIVINO
You know DIVINO, the good news is that we won this matchup by 14 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 12 stood at 155.89. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Nu' Yawk Giants
"Not seeing enough opportunities" won't be a reasonable excuse this week for Nu' Yawk Giants. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 25 targets in Week 13. With just 15 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
