Coach Talk

Outlaws
It just cannot be overstated how critical tight wins like this are for the locker room. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... we expect the Outlaws team chemistry to be sky-high heading into Week 2.
Fania's Team
Fania's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and two TE) were targeted a respectable 50 times in Week 1. With just 28 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
