Coach Talk

Bad LUCK
Assembling a starting crew that recorded 212.54 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
I Call John Elway
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 21 targets in Week 15. With just 11 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
