Coach Talk

Nightmares
You know what, Nightmares, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (Kadarius Toney), while still earning the win.
Boomtown Brawlers
Boomtown Brawlers may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our six pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) collectively received a grand total of 56 targets in Week 15. With just 31 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
