Coach Talk

Texas Heat
Bravo, Texas Heat. Good work deploying a lineup that earned 136 points this past matchup. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our next matchup in Week 15.
Philippians 4.13
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Philippians 4.13. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 36 times in Week 14. With just 19 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
