Coach Talk

Intoxicating Reverend
Nice job deploying a lineup that produced over 157 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business.
3X CHAMP
3X CHAMP may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 27 targets in Week 16. With just 15 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
