Coach Talk

Purple Jesus III
Nice job, Purple Jesus III. Props on deploying a team that recorded more than 154 points this past matchup.
Mixon Administration
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 27 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in just 15 receptions.
