Coach Talk

Naperville Methlab
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, Naperville Methlab. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Van Jefferson Jr. and the Seattle Seahawks defense), while still earning the W.
Dak to the Future
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six offensive position starters (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Dak to the Future collectively gained a whopping 571 total yards. No one from that group was able to score a touchdown in Week 16.
