Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
Well done, Green Bay Packers. Nice work fielding a starting crew that blew the competition out by over 41 points this past week.
San Francisco 49er’s
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 17 targets in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in only seven catches.
