Coach Talk

Pancho & Lefty
Listen, Pancho & Lefty, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes true gumption to field a player with negative points (Tyler Bass) while still earning the W.
Deeboz Nutz
"Not seeing enough looks" won't fly as an excuse this week for Deeboz Nutz. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 29 targets in Week 16. With only 15 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
