Coach Talk

Tmux
Whoa, that Colts defense didn't know what hit 'em! 29 connections on 30 attempts: good enough for a 97% completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Tmux is grateful for the attention to detail.
Ickey Shuffle
Hey, Ickey Shuffle, what did your receiving crew do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating only 21 targets combined in Week 15, our six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
