Coach Talk

NFL's Orphans
Hey, we admire the confidence, NFL's Orphans. It's a bold move to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Devin Duvernay and Jalen Hurts), while still getting the W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Ravens Flock!
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a respectable 18 targets in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group hauled in only 10 catches.
