Coach Talk

WILLFINITY GAUNTLET
You know what, WILLFINITY GAUNTLET, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Bilal Powell), while still getting the win.
cw's Rad Team
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (six WR, three TE) combined to see a grand total of 37 targets in Week 16. With only 21 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
