Coach Talk

BoilerDown
Assembling a lineup that won by more than 29 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our next challenge in Week 15.
sAviOr
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 25 targets in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group managed only 14 receptions.
