Coach Talk

EW Fleet of Feet 3

Winged Helmets 5
Unless Winged Helmets 5 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 27 times in Week 18. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded just 14 receptions.
