Coach Talk

Mean Machine
Nice job, Mean Machine. Fielding a lineup that won by a whopping 32.75 points in Week 15.
Green Bay Snackers
With literally zero passes thrown their direction this past week the starting RBs for Green Bay Snackers obviously should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it off more often.
