Coach Talk

Press Coverage
Just two field goals on four attempts? Seems like Harrison Butker may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
mello Yellow
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched only 16 catches.
