Coach Talk

EatDrinkAndBeMariota
Props to you, EatDrinkAndBeMariota. Nice work assembling a starting crew that posted 168.76 points in Week 14.
Hillcrest Bombers
"Not seeing many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Hillcrest Bombers. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 30 targets in Week 14. With just 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
