Coach Talk

Ironman
Deploying a lineup that accounted for 132.76 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
Nick's Nice Team
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive skill players (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Nick's Nice Team collectively gained a whopping 456 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 16.
