Coach Talk

Pack Attack
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to solid performances by Alvin Kamara and Le'Veon Bell, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We absolutely dominated Cleveland Fan at running back (29 points to 11.1). Kamara had 94 total yards and a TD, while Bell logged 76 yards.
Cleveland Fan
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six offensive position starters on Cleveland Fan (four WRs, two RBs) collectively gained a whopping 496 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
