Coach Talk

Robert's Team
Just one field goal on three attempts? It's quite possible that Jake Elliott just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Brian's Boss Team
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Brian's Boss Team. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 27 targets in Week 16. With only 14 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
