Coach Talk

My Ball Zach Ertz
Putting together a starting crew that produced 169.62 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Freaky Zeke
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 29 times in Week 15. With just 15 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
