Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Assembling a starting crew that netted 232.74 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Green Bay Packers
"Not seeing many chances" isn't an excuse this week for Green Bay Packers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (seven WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 52 targets in Week 16. With just 25 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
