Coach Talk

The Savage Banana🍌
Nice job, The Savage Banana🍌. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 46 points this past matchup.
L
"Not seeing many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for L. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group recorded only 14 receptions.
