Coach Talk

Austin's Team
Nice job, Austin's Team. Kudos on fielding a team that won by over 30 points this past matchup.
Chicago Bears
Unless Chicago Bears wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a whopping 13 targets in Week 15. With only seven total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
