Coach Talk

THIS IS GREATNESS👑
We can't overemphasize just how important tight wins like this can be for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... we expect the THIS IS GREATNESS👑 locker room to really gel heading into Week 15.
The Breadwinners
"Not getting enough chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for The Breadwinners. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 30 targets in Week 14. With only 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
