Coach Talk

Houston Texans
Nice job, Houston Texans. Putting together a starting crew that recorded more than 317 points in Week 15.
Buffalo Bills
Hey, Buffalo Bills, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? With just 15 total targets this past week, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
