Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
You know what, Comeback Kid, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Deebo Samuel), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant.
Lambda Lambda Lambda
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 35 times in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 21 catches.
