Coach Talk

Last in League
Wow, that Bengals defense didn't stand a chance! 22 completions on 25 attempts... good enough for a 88 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Last in League has to be grateful for that attention to detail.
Duke Silver
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 10. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched just 20 catches.
