Coach Talk

Marry Our Cousins!
Well Marry Our Cousins!, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 19 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 163.58. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Slow Clap
Slow Clap will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 46 times in Week 15. With just 25 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
