Coach Talk

Bye Week
Putting together a lineup that posted more than 163 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
¡VivaLaRevolucion!
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 37 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group reeled in just 22 catches.
