Coach Talk

2019 Champs
Nice job, 2019 Champs. Deploying a lineup that earned more than 145 points this past week... we'll maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 16.
Fo Shizzey
Unless Fo Shizzey wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 10 receptions.
