Coach Talk

Dead Again
Deploying a lineup that posted more than 149 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
DARC NARC
DARC NARC may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 15. With only 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
