Coach Talk

big diesel
Nice job assembling a lineup that recorded 310.7 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 14 matchup.
5Fingers2YoFace
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 54 times in Week 13. With just 32 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
