Coach Talk

From A To Zeke
These types of close wins can be super critical for team chemistry. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while succeeding in the face of adversity... expect the From A To Zeke locker room to really gel entering Week 17.
DAK and YELLOW
Unless DAK and YELLOW wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group managed only 17 receptions.
