Coach Talk

Apollo
Hey Apollo, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 34 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 208. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
MangoKid
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 30 times in Week 14. With only 17 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
