Coach Talk

Dak in a Box
Assembling a lineup that registered 150.66 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
Alpha1Testicules
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 24 targets in Week 16. With just 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
