Fantastic Mr. Fox
Listen Fantastic Mr. Fox, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 92.25 points through Week 14, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 15 we needed to win this past week!
