Coach Talk

Mother of Touchdowns
Nice work deploying a lineup that accounted for nearly 83 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 15 matchup.
Darkhorse
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group tallied only 14 receptions.
