Coach Talk

JUST IN the end zone
Good job deploying a starting crew that won by more than 43 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Check My Ballz
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 28 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just 16 balls.
