Coach Talk

Team Brad & Chad
Nice work, Team Brad & Chad. Kudos on deploying a team that blew the opponent out by nearly 50 points in Week 15.
Nickas
"Not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week for Nickas. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 24 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just 13 balls.
