Coach Talk

Packer backers
Bravo, Packer backers. Nice job fielding a lineup that won by over 15 points in Week 14.
Tanking for Trevor
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just seven catches.
