Coach Talk

Ben Rapistberger
Well done, Ben Rapistberger. Nice work assembling a lineup that posted more than 143 points this past matchup.
Autodraftimus Prime
Autodraftimus Prime may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded only 16 catches.
