Coach Talk

Mega/Team
Nice job, Mega/Team. Bravo on deploying a starting crew that earned more than 120 points in Week 17.
northwesterners
Unless northwesterners wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 27 targets in Week 17. With only 15 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
