Coach Talk

Nikkos Nutbusters
Hey, it's good to be confident, Nikkos Nutbusters. It takes gumption to roll out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning a win.
ZeroFox2Give
Unless ZeroFox2Give wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our eight pass-catchers (six WR and two TE) collectively received a grand total of 35 targets in Week 12. With just 19 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
