Coach Talk

Younghoe Foxx
You know, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Not only did we double up Word Bearers Legion at WR (35.4 points to 14.4), we also thoroughly dominated them at RB (40.5 to 5).
Word Bearers Legion
"Not seeing enough looks" can't be an excuse this week for Word Bearers Legion. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 25 targets in Week 12. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group hauled in just 11 balls.
