Coach Talk

CLINT DO NOT DELETE
Nice job assembling a lineup that won by over 26 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Wilfork on 1st Date
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 27 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group managed only 15 catches.
