Coach Talk

Viva Las Raiders
Mission accomplished, Viva Las Raiders. Nice work deploying a team that posted 130.62 points this past week.
jamest1728
jamest1728 will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 27 targets in Week 16. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
