Coach Talk

Newport em back to Mexico
Props on deploying a lineup that won by almost 13 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our Week 16 matchup.
For The Brand
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 14 catches.
