Coach Talk

BasStov Buccaneers
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 37.62 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business.
California Rams
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 16. With just 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
