Coach Talk

John's Standout Team
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, John's Standout Team! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting quarterbacks were significantly outmatched by the opposition. Our two signal-callers combined for just 23.3 points in Week 12, while the QBs for Sherlock Mahomes doubled us up with a score of 56.92. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
Sherlock Mahomes
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 35 targets in Week 12. With only 20 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
