Coach Talk

Groffy
Hey, it's good to be confident, Groffy. It's a bold move to roll out a player with zero points (Donald Parham Jr.), while still earning the win.
Mini Vikes
Unless Mini Vikes wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 18 targets in Week 15. With just eight total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
