Coach Talk

don't @ me brah
Props to you, don't @ me brah. Nice job deploying a lineup that earned over 118 points in Week 13. We should keep this momentum as we step into a tricky matchup in Week 14.
Layne Ducks
Unless Layne Ducks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only 19 receptions.
