Coach Talk

CowboyUp2016
Whoa, CowboyUp2016, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Along with a 46-point victory, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings!
BringThePain
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 37 targets in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group pulled down only 17 balls.
