Coach Talk

Another ONE
Kudos to you, Another ONE. Deploying a team that recorded 178.59 points in Week 16.
CommishIsBack
"Not getting enough chances" won't be an excuse this week for CommishIsBack. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 36 targets in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 20 balls.
