Coach Talk

Boom Town
Listen Boom Town, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 95.02 points through Week 12, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 81 we needed for this past week's win!
Baker's Dirty Dozen
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six starting offensive position players on Baker's Dirty Dozen (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) combined to record a healthy 395 total yards. Unfortunately, none of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 13.
