Coach Talk

Los Jefes
Wow, that Colts secondary didn't see it coming! 29 completions on 30 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 97 percent for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Los Jefes has gotta be appreciative of this type of attention to detail.
Book of Eli
Unless Book of Eli wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 15. With only 19 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
