Coach Talk

$250 Numero 4
You know $250 Numero 4, the good news is that we took this matchup by over one points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 11 stood at 113.89. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Tim Riggins
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only 21 catches.
