Coach Talk

HUNGRY DOG
Good work, HUNGRY DOG. Fielding a lineup that won by over 14 points this past week.
Very inTimidating
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 15. With only 23 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
