Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Listen, Baltimore Ravens, we do appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Mack Hollins), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire.
Dallas Cowboys
"Not seeing enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Dallas Cowboys. Our seven pass-catchers (four WR and three TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. With just 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
