Coach Talk

Dallas Hitmen
Good work, Dallas Hitmen. Props on fielding a lineup that won by more than 28 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next matchup in Week 16.
Steel Curtain
Producing just a couple of targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Steel Curtain clearly should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
