Coach Talk

Victorious Secret
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by more than 10 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
El Jefe
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 16. With just 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
