Coach Talk

Stafford Infection
Kudos to you, Stafford Infection. Nice job assembling a starting crew that nearly recorded 153 points this past week.
Night Crawlers
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 28 targets in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they notched just 16 receptions.
