Coach Talk

Tebowculosis
Bravo on assembling a lineup that won by 14.68 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
ItaliA
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied only 14 catches.
