Coach Talk

Wentzamania
Well done, Wentzamania. Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied 180.76 points this past week.
ATL_Falcons11
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for ATL_Falcons11. Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 29 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group pulled down only 17 catches.
