Coach Talk

Josh's Team
Well Josh's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by a staggering 39.7 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 12 stood at 121.27. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Mr.NiceGuy's Team
Unless Mr.NiceGuy's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is not a viable excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 28 targets in Week 13. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
