Coach Talk

christopher's Team
We do respect the confidence this past week, christopher's Team. Deploying a starter with zero points (D'Andre Swift), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're toast.
DC Defenders
DC Defenders may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed just 13 receptions.
