Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Assembling a lineup that won by over 34 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our eight pass-catchers (six WR, two TE) were targeted a healthy 50 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 28 catches.
