Coach Talk

Da Rams
Well Da Rams, the good news is that we won this matchup by 10.52 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 130.09. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Mitch's Bitch's
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 14. With just 22 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
