Coach Talk

Benetton Favorites
Tight victories like this are super critical for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect Benetton Favorites to carry some serious vibes into Week 16.
Mr.Green Bay Packers
"Not seeing enough opportunities" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Mr.Green Bay Packers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 19 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 11 receptions.
