Coach Talk

Beantown Champs
Listen Beantown Champs, the good news is that we took this matchup by 11.74 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through four weeks was 135.28. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Censored Clowns
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 5. With just 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
