Coach Talk

Team Tadlock
Deploying a lineup that posted almost 170 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
FDC Chiefs
FDC Chiefs may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 27 targets in Week 15. With only 15 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
