Coach Talk

Full Chubb Energy
Hey now Full Chubb Energy, that's the sort of display we love to see! A completion percentage of 82 percent this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Russell Wilson. The Cardinals defense didn't stand a chance! In what wound up being a tight matchup, the GM of Full Chubb Energy has got to be grateful for that precision and attention to detail.
FreshPrinceOfHelaire
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for FreshPrinceOfHelaire collectively registered only three receptions on five targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 12!
