Coach Talk

Yobogoya!
Nice work, Yobogoya!. Deploying a lineup that registered 85 points in Week 15.
YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 13 balls.
