Coach Talk

MoFoS
Bravo, MoFoS. Good work fielding a starting crew that blew the competition out by almost 47 points in Week 16.
Boogie's Knights
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 16. With just 14 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
