GOLDEN BOY

That Just Happened!!
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 20 targets in Week 10. With only seven total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
