Coach Talk

Blue Falcons
Well done, Blue Falcons. Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 25.6 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 11.
FDC Chiefs
Unless FDC Chiefs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 42 times in Week 10. With only 22 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
