Coach Talk

#22SAVAGE
Hey #22SAVAGE, the good news is that we won this matchup by almost 67 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 10 weeks was 192.86. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Noodles
Unless Noodles wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 18 times in Week 11. With only 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
