Coach Talk

This is Dre's Team
Hey This is Dre's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 16 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 12 stood at 91.26. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Comeback Kid
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 16 receptions.
