Coach Talk

David's Team
You know what, David's Team, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Josh Lambo), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. Try those shenanigans next week against Mahomes muscles and we'll be toast!
Noah's team
"Not getting enough looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Noah's team. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 25 times in Week 9. With just 15 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
