Coach Talk

Victorious Secret
Hey Victorious Secret, the good news is that we took this matchup by over eight points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 113.69. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Nitro Fix
Unless Nitro Fix wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 31 targets in Week 15. With only 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
