Coach Talk

Hooked on a Thielen
Kudos on assembling a lineup that earned more than 148 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we step into what's sure to be an exceedingly challenging Week 13 matchup.
Kingslayer
Unless Kingslayer wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 24 targets in Week 12. With just 14 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
