Coach Talk

TotenKopf
Bravo on deploying a lineup that won by 20.68 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
Top G
Top G may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 15. With only 11 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
