Coach Talk

Traeway34
Kudos on deploying a lineup that registered almost 111 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
dem catz
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded only 14 receptions.
