Coach Talk

Titletown
Bravo, Titletown. Nice job fielding a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 39.55 points this past week.
G-Unit
Unless G-Unit wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 16. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they notched only 12 receptions.
