Coach Talk

Oh Danny Boy
We do admire the confidence this past week, Oh Danny Boy. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (the Detroit Lions defense), while still getting a win.
The Rockylobos
So, The Rockylobos, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just six targets as a group in Week 16, our two wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
