Coach Talk

Lights Kamara Action
Listen Lights Kamara Action, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 113.65 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 104.26 we needed to win this past week!
Fluffy Turtles
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 32 times in Week 15. With just 12 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
