Coach Talk

PHFILTHYS
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's not really any way sugarcoat this, PHFILTHYS: our starting QB was severely outplayed this past week. Ryan Tannehill went 21-of-27 for 391 yards and three touchdowns for David's Team, and all Tom Brady could manage through the air was 169 yards and one passing TD. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
David's Team
David's Team will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 14. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group tallied only 11 receptions.
