Coach Talk

GloriouslyVictorious
Nice job deploying a starting crew that produced more than 203 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 5 matchup.
Kittle Me This
Unless Kittle Me This wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 34 targets in Week 4. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group notched just 19 catches.
