Coach Talk

Lamb on Sunday
Well done, Lamb on Sunday. Deploying a starting crew that won by almost 65 points in Week 16.
Evening Shade 🏈🏆
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 31 targets in Week 16. With only 18 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
