Coach Talk

VABoyz
Hey, it's good to be confident, VABoyz. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still getting the win.
King Of The Hill
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 23 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied just 13 receptions.
