Coach Talk

Mini Cooper
Listen Mini Cooper, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 120.49 points through Week 14, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 105.6 we needed to win this past week!
Pizza boy
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 29 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 12 balls.
