Coach Talk

Fük Mike Riley
Listen Fük Mike Riley, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 16 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 107.71. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
gridironposse
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to receive a healthy 24 targets in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just 11 receptions.
