Coach Talk

For_Champion
Good work, For_Champion. Deploying a starting crew that netted almost 146 points this past matchup.
WE.Ted
Unless WE.Ted wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 42 times in Week 15. With only 25 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
