Coach Talk

Platinum's Team
Hey Platinum's Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by 5.74 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 101.76. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
KB's Definitive Team
Unless KB's Definitive Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" can't be a valid excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (two WR and two TE) combined to get a grand total of 30 targets in Week 15. With only 12 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
