Coach Talk

New York vaGIANTS
Deploying a lineup that produced more than 127 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Wallys Warriors
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 27 targets in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group pulled down just 16 balls.
