Coach Talk

Griffin’s Great Team
Deploying a lineup that recorded more than 162 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum as we step into our Week 17 matchup.
Gimps
"Not seeing many looks" can't be an excuse this week for Gimps. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 26 targets in Week 16. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
