Coach Talk

Solaris
Listen Solaris, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 126.92 points through Week 12, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 99.9 we needed for this past week's win!
Ivan Churqok
Ivan Churqok will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 13. With just 13 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
