Coach Talk

Hooked on a Thielen
These types of tight victories are super critical for the locker room. Persevering through the toughest of times and succeeding in the face of adversity... we expect the Hooked on a Thielen team chemistry to be stronger than ever heading into Week 15.
Drews' Crew
Drews' Crew may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 14. With just 16 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
