Coach Talk

CatchDeez Shanahands
Nice job, CatchDeez Shanahands. Putting together a lineup that recorded more than 177 points this past matchup.
Birds Fly High
Birds Fly High will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 37 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group notched only 21 receptions.
