Coach Talk

Cook a Graham
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, Cook a Graham: our QB was clearly outclassed by the opposition. Ben Roethlisberger went 22-of-34 for 235 yards and two touchdowns for Bad JuJu, and all Cam Newton could put up was a 16-for-29 outing for 131 passing yards. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
Bad JuJu
Unless Bad JuJu wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a viable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 28 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed only 15 receptions.
