Coach Talk

The Enablers
We can't overstate just how critical tight wins like this can be for team chemistry. Persevering through the toughest of times and succeeding in the face of adversity... we expect the The Enablers locker room to really gel riding into Week 15.
Bell Cows
Producing only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Bell Cows should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
