Coach Talk

Pisgah Pythons
Now that's what we call righting the ship... The GM of Pisgah Pythons shrugged off their two-game losing streak by logging a whopping 199.42 points this past week!
Comeback Kid
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group recorded only 19 receptions.
