Coach Talk

Captain Hindsight
You know what, Captain Hindsight, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Terry McLaurin), while still getting the win.
Owen Sixteen
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 15 times in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they managed only nine receptions.
