Coach Talk

GB Packers (JP)
You know what, GB Packers (JP), we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes a special sort of moxie to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (DJ Moore and Marcedes Lewis), while still getting the W.
Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 21 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 10 catches.
