Coach Talk

Noodles
These types of narrow victories can be super critical for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect the Noodles locker room to really gel heading into Week 16.
Los Fearless
Unless Los Fearless wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 15. With only 21 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
