Coach Talk

AMMODOG
Assembling a lineup that won by a whopping 71 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Hard Targets
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 28 targets in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they recorded only 17 receptions.
