Coach Talk

not defending champs
Yo, not defending champs, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this victory. Not only did you win by 28+ points, you also jumped up two spots in the league standings!
#WeAreGood
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 21 targets in Week 10. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just nine receptions.
