Coach Talk

Jujus Best
You know what, Jujus Best, we do respect the confidence. It takes gumption to play a player with zero points (Chase Edmonds), while still getting the W.
Jules Winnfield
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 32 targets in Week 15. With just 19 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
