Coach Talk

General Jakobi
Mission accomplished, General Jakobi. Assembling a starting crew that won by 41.62 points in Week 13. We should keep this momentum as we head into what might be a favorable Week 14 matchup.
More than a Thielen
Unless More than a Thielen wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 13. With only 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
