Coach Talk

Jonathan's Champion Team
We just cannot overstate how important close victories like this can be for the locker room. Persevering through trials and tribulations, and succeeding in the face of adversity... expect the team chemistry for Jonathan's Champion Team to be sky-high heading into Week 16.
Dalvin and the Pickmunks
Unless Dalvin and the Pickmunks wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 15. With just 15 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
