Coach Talk

Buffalo Wings
Props to you, Buffalo Wings. Nice job assembling a lineup that blew the opposition out by a whopping 79 points this past matchup.
K2
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 46 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched just 28 catches.
