Coach Talk

Cry me a RIVERS
Good work, Cry me a RIVERS. Kudos on fielding a team that recorded 119.67 points in Week 15.
No Romo
Unless No Romo wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 30 targets in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
