Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Props on assembling a lineup that tallied 217.78 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
The J Train
The J Train may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 31 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group tallied only 18 receptions.
