Coach Talk

EP
Bravo, EP. Fielding a team that netted over 137 points this past week.
BANG BANG BANG
"Not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for BANG BANG BANG. As a group, our two wide receivers combined to see a grand total of 14 targets in Week 16. With just five total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
