Coach Talk

3X CHAMP
Tight victories like this can be unbelievably important for the locker room. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... expect the 3X CHAMP team chemistry to be stronger than ever heading into Week 16.
Next Man Up Yours
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
