Coach Talk

Mutinous Apes
Listen, Mutinous Apes, we applaud you on the confidence. Starting a player with negative points (the Los Angeles Rams defense) while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Vultures
Vultures may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 15. With just 18 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
