Coach Talk

Mindy Blunk's Team
Four running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The seven starting offensive skill players on Mindy Blunk's Team combined to record a whopping 501 total yards. Not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 13.
Covid Bombers
"Not seeing many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Covid Bombers. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 43 targets in Week 13. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 25 catches.
