Coach Talk

The Prodigal Son
Only two field goals on four attempts? Seems like Nick Folk might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
Jumpsuit AL
Unless Jumpsuit AL wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 32 targets in Week 12. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group managed just 17 catches.
