Coach Talk

THE CIRCLE
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive position players on THE CIRCLE (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively gained a whopping 401 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players managed to find the end zone in Week 16.
Double Tap Champ
Unless Double Tap Champ wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 31 targets in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group recorded just 18 catches.
