Coach Talk

Brett’s Team
Nice job deploying a starting crew that almost reached the century mark this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
Mottley Crew🍻
Lots of activity between the 20's: The six starting offensive position players on Mottley Crew🍻 (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) combined to record a whopping 452 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, could find his way to the end zone in Week 16.
