Coach Talk

Man Called Sting
Props to you, Man Called Sting. Deploying a team that won by 16.76 points in Week 16.
MIGHTY FN MIDGETS
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 31 times in Week 16. With only 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
