Coach Talk

Pai Mei
Listen, Pai Mei, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (P.J. Walker), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant.
GREEN LEGION
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 28 targets in Week 14. With only 16 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
