Coach Talk

Nocturnal Busts
Good job assembling a starting crew that tallied 118.6 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
WhentheLe'VeonBreaks
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for WhentheLe'VeonBreaks. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 19 times in Week 14. With just 11 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
