Coach Talk

Fantasy Football Team
You know what, Fantasy Football Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Melvin Gordon III), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Golden Metcalf
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied only 16 receptions.
