Coach Talk

Pat's Phenomenal Team
Putting together a lineup that produced nearly 117 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
David's Definitive Team
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 16. With just 14 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
