Coach Talk

Kansas Kowboys
Wow, that Colts defense didn't see it coming! 29 connections on 30 attempts: good enough for a 97 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Kansas Kowboys has gotta be thankful for that attention to detail.
Who Dat!!!
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 24 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 14 balls.
