Coach Talk

Low Ballers
Kudos on deploying a lineup that won by 12.6 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Annihilators
"Not seeing many looks" won't fly as an excuse this week for Annihilators. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 46 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 28 receptions.
