Coach Talk

Orange Julius
Listen Orange Julius, the good news is that we won this matchup by 2.66 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 123.29. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Raiders Rebuild
Raiders Rebuild will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 14 targets in Week 15. With only seven total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
