Coach Talk

V for ...
Nice work deploying a lineup that earned 116 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Beloglavi
Unless Beloglavi wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 16. With just 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
