Coach Talk

Justin Fields
You know Justin Fields, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 113.43 points through Week 11, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 85.7 we needed for this past week's win!
J1's Excellent Team
Unless J1's Excellent Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 15 times in Week 12. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded only nine receptions.
