Coach Talk

DownWithOTT
Props to you, DownWithOTT. Nice job fielding a starting crew that won by 49 points this past matchup. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our Week 15 matchup.
Sean's Team
So, Sean's Team, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? With just 11 targets combined in Week 14, our three wide receivers clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
