Coach Talk

Mike Ditka
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat it, Mike Ditka... our running backs were significantly outplayed by the opposition. Nyheim Hines (12 total yards, no TDs) and James White (62 yards, one TD) combined for only 9.7 points in Week 15. Malcolm Brown and Ezekiel Elliott showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 26.
