Coach Talk

Los Angeles Rams
You know Los Angeles Rams, the good news is that we won this matchup by a impressive 9 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 33.57. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
GB Packers (JP)
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 27 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group hauled in just 15 catches.
