Coach Talk

Solaris
Listen Solaris, the good news is that we took this matchup by 3.56 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 119.39. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Red Sox
Posting three catches on only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Red Sox should remind their QBs to dump it down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
