Coach Talk

Buffalo Bills
Nice job, Buffalo Bills. Props on assembling a lineup that recorded more than 274 points in Week 15.
San Francisco 49ers
Unless San Francisco 49ers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 30 targets in Week 15. With only 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
