Coach Talk

Washington Redskins
Putting together a starting crew that earned 193.66 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 14.
Indianapolis Colts
Unless Indianapolis Colts wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) were targeted a hearty 35 times in Week 13. With only 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
