Coach Talk

O.J.'s Cousins
Assembling a lineup that exceeded the century mark this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum as we step into our Week 16 matchup.
Arbys Awesome Team
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Arbys Awesome Team collectively logged three catches on only four targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 16!
