Coach Talk

Team XYZ
Hey, it's good to be confident, Team XYZ. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (Terry McLaurin), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
Tails
Unless Tails wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 15 receptions.
