Coach Talk

Sat🏈
Hey Sat🏈, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 14 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 109.82. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Ashely's Dragons
Ashely's Dragons may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 21 targets in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
