Coach Talk

Diddy
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Diddy! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve... our starting wide receivers were utterly outclassed by the opposition. Courtland Sutton (79 total yards, no TDs) and Cooper Kupp (41 yards, one TD) combined for just 18 points in Week 15. For Ground Game Keeper, A.J. Brown and Michael Thomas doubled us up with a score of 36.2.
