Coach Talk

Big Mac's Special Sauce
Listen, Big Mac's Special Sauce, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Quinnen Williams), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant.
The Frisky Dingo
Unless The Frisky Dingo wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 16. With just 16 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
