Coach Talk

Hail Murray
Assembling a lineup that won by a whopping 53.76 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
DLegendary1
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 31 times in Week 15. With only 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
