Coach Talk

Chainsaw
Listen Chainsaw, the good news is that we took this matchup by 18 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 124. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Kooky UnderDawgs
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 15. With just 15 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
