Coach Talk

Firestorm
We can't overemphasize just how critical tight wins like this can be for the locker room. Persevering through trials and tribulations, and triumphing in the face of adversity... look for the Firestorm team chemistry to be stronger than ever riding into Week 17.
The Dark Knights
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 37 targets in Week 16. With just 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
