Coach Talk

John Burnett's Team
You know John Burnett's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by a whopping 54.7 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through five weeks was 124.36. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Dmitry's Team
"Not getting many looks" is definitely not an excuse this week for Dmitry's Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to get a respectable 25 targets in Week 6. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in just 13 balls.
