Coach Talk

Earl's Glorious Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, Earl's Glorious Team. It takes real moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (the Indianapolis Colts defense), while still getting the win.
Mike mighty team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 36 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied only 20 receptions.
