Coach Talk

Big D energy
Deploying a lineup that produced 168.66 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
Joe Burr
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 44 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they tallied only 24 catches.
