Coach Talk

Orange Crush
Listen Orange Crush, the good news is that we won this matchup by 30.52 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 12 stood at 124.74. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Jimmy and the twins
Unless Jimmy and the twins wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 13. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed just 13 receptions.
