Coach Talk

Ice Up Son!
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by 16 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Lil D
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 16. With just 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
