Coach Talk

SAWTOOTHS
Hey SAWTOOTHS, the good news is that we took this matchup by 5.5 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 128.4. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Steel Reign
Steel Reign may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 14. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down just 18 receptions.
