Coach Talk

NicholasG's Nifty Team
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Matt Prater may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
GOIN DEEP 7
GOIN DEEP 7 will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 15 times in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group notched only eight catches.
