Coach Talk

M.A.S.K.
Hey, we admire the confidence, M.A.S.K.. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Chris Jones), while still earning the win.
Gotham Giants
Gotham Giants will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a hearty 26 times in Week 15. With just 15 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
