Coach Talk

Poldi Steelers
Good work, Poldi Steelers. Deploying a lineup that netted 126.7 points in Week 9... we'll keep this momentum rolling as we step into a tricky challenge in Week 10.
Kovboji z Tekova
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 9. With just 18 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
