Coach Talk

Pigskin Pimps XX
Deploying a starting crew that tallied over 58 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
Jumpin' Bones
So, Jumpin' Bones, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? With just 20 total targets in Week 16, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
