Purple Penis Eaters
Wow, Purple Penis Eaters, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Along with a 50.49-point victory, you also jumped up from fourth place to second in the league standings!
Give Em The Pickle
Unless Give Em The Pickle wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 13. With just 22 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
