We Want the Funk

Yo mama said U Ugly
Unless Yo mama said U Ugly wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 31 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group hauled in only 18 catches.
