Coach Talk

DC Dips
Listen DC Dips, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 241.99 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 261.15 we needed for this past week's win!
New Mexicans
New Mexicans will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 19 targets in Week 15. With only seven total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
