Coach Talk

Jacksonville Jaguars
Tight wins like this can be very important for the locker room. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... we expect the Jacksonville Jaguars team chemistry to be sky-high heading into Week 17.
Green Bay Packers
A single missed field goal isn't typically cause for concern. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Justin Tucker went 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and Green Bay Packers lost the matchup by 4.94 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
