Coach Talk

Gridiron Angels
Hey, at least there were no "excessive celebration" penalties: The six starting offensive skill players on Gridiron Angels (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively gained a healthy 511 total yards. Not one of those players was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
Nick's Nice Team
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
