Coach Talk

Bull Chips
Listen Bull Chips, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 89.82 points through Week 11, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 79 we needed for this past week's win!
Prolific
"Not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Prolific. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 22 targets in Week 12. With just 12 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
