Coach Talk

Cleveland Glads
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Cleveland Glads. Our quarterbacks were thoroughly overmatched by the opposition. Our two signal-callers combined for only 36.3 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Nashville Kats doubled us up with a score of 85.42.
Nashville Kats
Nashville Kats will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our seven pass-catchers (five WR and two TE) combined to receive a grand total of 33 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group tallied only 18 receptions.
