Coach Talk

Orange Nation
Only one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Matt Prater might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Texasseans *
Unless Texasseans * wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) collectively got a whopping 25 targets in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group hauled in just 15 catches.
