Coach Talk

Ice Cold
Listen, Ice Cold, we do respect the confidence. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (Pat Freiermuth), while still getting the W.
Underrated A
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 33 targets in Week 15. With just 18 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
