Coach Talk

Firestorm
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Firestorm! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our quarterback was utterly overmatched by the opposition. Deshaun Watson went 22-of-28 for 294 yards and two touchdowns for Redzone 2 Da Endzone, and all Eli Manning could manage through the air was 229 passing yards and an ugly interception. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
Redzone 2 Da Endzone
Hey, it's possible that Redzone 2 Da Endzone might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only five targets combined in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
