Coach Talk

Cavemen
Solid work this past matchup, Cavemen! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now focus our attention towards a tough challenge in The Dog House.
Mananas
Producing three receptions on only four targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Mananas should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
