Coach Talk

The Raider Nation
Hey The Raider Nation, the good news is that we took this matchup by 10.64 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 11 weeks was 122.81. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
The Enablers
"Not seeing enough chances" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for The Enablers. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 21 times in Week 12. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group managed only 13 receptions.
