Coach Talk

The Jackals
Listen The Jackals, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 206.64 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 209.5 we needed for this past week's win!
The Winners
The Winners may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a hearty 33 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group notched only 18 receptions.
