Coach Talk

MGKVSBRD
Deploying a lineup that posted 87.66 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
eric's Team
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 20 targets in Week 17. With just 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
