Coach Talk

Second half scrubs
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, Second half scrubs. Our wide receivers were clearly outplayed this past week. Our receiving corps produced only 5.8 points in Week 15. For Patrick Mahomeless, DK Metcalf and Stefon Diggs tripled us up with a score of 19.
Patrick Mahomeless
Well, Patrick Mahomeless, Week 15's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with T.J. Hockenson and the San Francisco 49ers defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
