Coach Talk

Cole's Team
Earning the win is most important, Cole's Team, but we definitely know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our quarterback was significantly overmatched by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 16.61 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Preston's Team doubled us up with a score of 38.45.
Preston's Team
Unless Preston's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is definitely not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 35 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only 21 receptions.
