Coach Talk

The Comeback Kid
Nice job, The Comeback Kid. Kudos on deploying a team that blew the opposition out by a whopping 36.76 points in Week 15.
Layne Ducks
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 31 times in Week 15. With only 19 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
