Coach Talk

Rasia
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Rasia! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our starting QB was clearly outclassed this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 27-of-34 for 340 yards and two touchdowns for Sparty Stafford, and all Kirk Cousins could manage was a 19-for-25 outing, with 207 yards and one passing TD.
Sparty Stafford
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 21 targets in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed just 12 receptions.
