Coach Talk

Wentzamania
Bravo on deploying a lineup that recorded nearly 220 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Greenlandic Express
"Not getting many opportunities" isn't an excuse this week for Greenlandic Express. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 15. With just 17 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
