Coach Talk

Livy's Team
Listen, Livy's Team, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Rams defense) while still getting a W... talk about arrogance.
kensy's Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 15. With just 14 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
