Coach Talk

Chubby chasers
Kudos to you, Chubby chasers. Deploying a starting crew that earned 115.68 points in Week 16.
Dee's Wonderful Team
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 16. With only 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
