Coach Talk

NYC Gutter Trash
Wow, that Panthers defense didn't see it coming! 18 connections on 22 attempts: good enough for a 82% completion percentage for Baker Mayfield. We know the GM of NYC Gutter Trash is appreciative of the attention to detail.
The JBA Big Blue
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 19 targets in Week 14. With only 10 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
