Coach Talk

Law’s Squad
Kudos to you, Law’s Squad. Assembling a team that won by almost 11 points in Week 16.
'SHOWTIME'
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The seven offensive skill starters (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) on 'SHOWTIME' combined to record a whopping 561 total yards. None of those starters, unfortunately, was able to find the end zone in Week 16.
