Coach Talk

ReddBurrds
Deploying a starting crew that won by nearly 240 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
Kenny's deer
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 10 catches.
