Coach Talk

Blitzburgh
Kudos to you, Blitzburgh. Deploying a starting crew that registered more than 93 points in Week 16.
Kastani Packers
Kastani Packers may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 34 times in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group managed just 18 receptions.
