Coach Talk

Ben’s Squad
Listen, Ben’s Squad, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes a special sort of guts to play a starter with zero points (Nick Folk), while still earning the win.
Buffalo Sonics un-vaxxxed
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 19 targets in Week 16. With only 11 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
