Coach Talk

New York Jets
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, New York Jets. Our quarterback was thoroughly overmatched by the opposition. Our one guys under center combined for only 19.3 points in Week 16, while the QBs for Dallas Cowboys doubled us up with a score of 39.3.
Dallas Cowboys
So, Dallas Cowboys, what did your receivers do to irk their quarterbacks this week? With only 16 targets as a group in Week 16, our three wide receivers obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
