Coach Talk

Well Oiled Machine
You know what, Well Oiled Machine, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes gumption to roll out a starter with zero points (Dawson Knox), while still earning the W.
London Gentlemen
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our three wide receivers collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 17. With just 13 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
