Coach Talk

Jet Lyfe
You know what, Jet Lyfe, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Myles Jack and Hunter Henry), while still getting the win! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Ring Chasers
"Not getting enough looks" won't fly as an excuse this week for Ring Chasers. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 23 times in Week 16. With just 13 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
