Coach Talk

Black Sunday
Nice work assembling a starting crew that won by almost 37 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Climate Fires
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 43 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed only 20 catches.
