Coach Talk

MQ
Deploying a lineup that earned over 149 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 15 matchup.
Unbreakables
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 14. With only 14 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
