Coach Talk

Cardnals
Hey Cardnals, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly one points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 110.11. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!

Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 15. With just 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
