Coach Talk

late hitters
Putting together a starting crew that won by over 19 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
HGH Ballers
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 40 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 20 catches.
