Coach Talk

Redemption Tour
Kudos to you, Redemption Tour. Putting together a lineup that tallied nearly 162 points in Week 16.
The Shredder
Unless The Shredder wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 16. With only nine total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
