Coach Talk

Mississippi
Hey, it's good to be confident, Mississippi. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (D'Andre Swift), while still getting the win. Try those shenanigans next week against Space Force and see what happens!
brandon's Team
Unless brandon's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our seven pass-catchers (six WR and one TE) combined to see a hearty 47 targets in Week 12. With just 26 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
