Coach Talk

Demetus Decent
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
CeeDeez Nuts
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive position players (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on CeeDeez Nuts collectively gained a whopping 514 total yards. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
