Coach Talk

Stormlight
Listen, Stormlight, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Adam Thielen), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're done.
Allen the Family
Unless Allen the Family wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a healthy 39 times in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only 23 receptions.
