Coach Talk

Polish-Hammer
Listen Polish-Hammer, the good news is that we won this matchup by 19.72 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 97.9. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
🖕🏼
🖕🏼 will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 25 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 15 receptions.
