Coach Talk

Lancaster
You know what, Lancaster, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Terry McLaurin), while still getting the win... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Finite Incantatem
Hey, Finite Incantatem, what did your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing just seven targets as a group in Week 16, our starting receiver crew (three WR, zero TE) obviously need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
