Coach Talk

RiSeN!
Kudos to you, RiSeN!. Deploying a starting crew that earned over 128 points this past matchup.
Red Raiders
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 16. With only 21 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
