Coach Talk

💰Get Money💰
Whoa, 💰Get Money💰, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this blowout. Not only did you win by more than 79 points, you also jumped up two places in the league standings. Nice job!
The MAZters
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 29 times in Week 5. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group hauled in only 13 catches.
