Coach Talk

Audrey's Genius Team
Earning the win is most important, Audrey's Genius Team, but we also know of one spot where we should get better as a team: our starting quarterback was clearly overmatched by the opposition. Tom Brady went 27-of-41 for 345 yards and three touchdowns for Pats Nation, and all Ben Roethlisberger could manage through the air was 266 yards and one passing TD. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
Pats Nation
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Pats Nation. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded just 12 receptions.
