Coach Talk

Pop's
You know what, Pop's, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Greg Olsen), while still getting the W.
The Real McKoy
Unless The Real McKoy wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched only 12 catches.
