Coach Talk

Magic Michael
Well Magic Michael, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 48 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 117.98. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Super Mario-Ta
Unless Super Mario-Ta wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 19 targets in Week 15. With just 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
