Coach Talk

Philadelphia Eagles
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by 17.78 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Los Angeles Chargers
Unless Los Angeles Chargers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" cannot be an excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 47 times in Week 16. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they tallied just 27 catches.
