Coach Talk

Youngkid Super Team
Well Youngkid Super Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by over nine points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 88.83. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
TonyRomo
It's entirely possible that TonyRomo would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only eight targets combined in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
