Coach Talk

WilburForce
Kudos on deploying a lineup that won by 15 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Victorious Secret
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just nine balls.
