Coach Talk

Girlz Rule!
Well Girlz Rule!, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost 10 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through nine weeks was 74.21. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Penetrators
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Penetrators collectively logged only three targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 12!
