Coach Talk

Flying Squirrels
You know Flying Squirrels, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 122.08 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 79.44 we needed for this past week's win!
Rollin’ with Mahomes
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 18 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group managed only seven catches.
