Coach Talk

LV Raiders
Listen LV Raiders, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 50 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 128.03. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
matthew's Team
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for matthew's Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a hearty 21 targets in Week 14. With just 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
