Coach Talk

Kyler the Creator
Talk about coming through in the clutch! Despite contributing an ugly 111 total yards from scrimmage, your four offensive skill starters (four WRs, zero RB) combined to reach the end zone a whopping three times.
SteelTown Rockstar
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 31 targets in Week 17. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group pulled down just 16 catches.
