Coach Talk

McmANUS Foreplay
Putting together a lineup that accounted for almost 123 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our next challenge in Week 15.
Pitts Perfect
Unless Pitts Perfect wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 35 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 21 balls.
