Coach Talk

DARC NARC
Yo, DARC NARC, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. Not only did you win by 20.6 points, you also climbed a couple of spots in the league standings!
Norman Nobodies
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 50 targets in Week 10. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded just 27 catches.
