Coach Talk

Dr!p
Good work assembling a lineup that exceeded the century mark this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we move on to what should be a favorable Week 13 matchup.
Kush Gordon
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 20 times in Week 12. With just nine total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
