Coach Talk

Philly Special
Assembling a lineup that registered nearly 155 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 14.
Finding Deebo
Finding Deebo may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 13. With only 12 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
