Coach Talk

Pack Rats
Bravo, Pack Rats. Nice work deploying a team that netted 269 points this past matchup.
One--Eyed--Willie
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 30 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 16 balls.
