Coach Talk

Denver Broncos
Hey, we admire the confidence, Denver Broncos. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Courtland Sutton and Melvin Gordon III), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Miami Dolphins
Unless Miami Dolphins wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not a viable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 13 balls.
