Coach Talk

Man's RED Team
We wonder if the GM of Man's RED Team was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.2 points, Chris Boswell (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
$$$$$$$
Hey now, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for $$$$$$$ collectively received zero targets in the passing game this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 16!
