Coach Talk

FREAKS
Now that's what we call a bounce-back... The GM of FREAKS shrugged off their six-game losing skid by putting up a tremendous 137 points this past week!
The Horde
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 23 times in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 13 balls.
