Coach Talk

Let Dalvin Cook
Solid work this past matchup, Let Dalvin Cook! Let's give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now redirect our attention towards a tough challenge in Debo.
Gary Gus's Team
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 28 times in Week 11. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they notched only 16 catches.
