Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Baltimore Ravens. It takes a special kind of moxie to roll out a player with negative points (plus two zero-point players) while still earning the W.
Green Bay Packers
"Not getting many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Green Bay Packers. As a group, our eight pass-catchers (five WR, three TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 14. With just 22 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
