Coach Talk

Brian's Boss Team
Solid work this past week, Brian's Boss Team! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now shift our attention towards a stiff challenge in Matt's Team.
HeidiR's Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 21 targets in Week 12. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 11 receptions.
