Coach Talk

5Fingers2YoFace
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by nearly 78 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business.
Valley Vikings
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 26 times in Week 16. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in only 16 catches.
