Coach Talk

Ronnie The Commish
Props to you, Ronnie The Commish. Putting together a team that tallied almost 214 points this past matchup.
Corey The Veteran
Unless Corey The Veteran wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) collectively got a whopping 42 targets in Week 16. With only 25 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
