Coach Talk

Cy Yung
Deploying a lineup that won by 15.48 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
WhyMe
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 21 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group hauled in just 12 catches.
