Coach Talk

Rebel Alliance
Hey Rebel Alliance, the good news is that we took this matchup by nearly 15 points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 143.67. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Brewmasters
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched just 16 catches.
