Coach Talk

Bel Biv Deebo
Listen, Bel Biv Deebo, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes a special kind of guts to field a player with negative points (the Denver Broncos defense) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Austin Powers
Unless Austin Powers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 25 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 11 balls.
