Coach Talk

World Champions
Getting the win is most important, World Champions, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team: our quarterback was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 14-of-24 for 281 yards and two touchdowns for Dork Elvis, and all Kirk Cousins could put up was a 20-for-33 outing, with 132 yards and one passing TD.
Dork Elvis
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 23 times in Week 17. With only 12 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
