Coach Talk

Crush
Mission accomplished, Crush. Good job deploying a lineup that blew the opposition out by over 62 points this past week.
GC Lions
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 16. With just eight total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
