Coach Talk

Noe's Nifty Team
Assembling a lineup that won by nearly 18 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
CornHub
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 18 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just nine receptions.
