Coach Talk

Well Oiled Machine
It just cannot be overstated how important tight victories like this are for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... expect Well Oiled Machine to carry some serious momentum into Week 16.
Spoon
Producing three catches on only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Spoon should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
