Coach Talk

C Mendez's Team
You know C Mendez's Team, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 174.93 points through Week 14, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 176 we needed for this past week's win!
Ram1's Genius Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 15. With only 14 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
