Coach Talk

Golden Grahams
Good work, Golden Grahams. Bravo on assembling a lineup that netted more than 126 points in Week 15.
The Panhandlers
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for The Panhandlers. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 18 balls.
