Coach Talk

Cleveland Steamers
Good work, Cleveland Steamers. Deploying a team that won by 23.48 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into what will surely be a difficult Week 4 matchup.
The Mad King
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a whopping 13 targets in Week 3. With only seven total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
