Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Green Bay Packers. Our starting wide receivers were utterly outplayed this past week. Buoyed by Amari Cooper (10 total yards, no TDs) and Cooper Kupp (39 yards, no TDs), our five WRs combined for only 62.1 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Los Angeles Rams doubled us up with a score of 126.7.
Los Angeles Rams
Happy holidays, Los Angeles Rams! We hope the GM of Green Bay Packers will write a thank-you card for the generous 454.98-point gift this past week.
