Coach Talk

Nawal's Unreal Team
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a stellar performance by Aaron Rodgers, we thoroughly outplayed Cahokia Chickadees at the quarterback position this past week (70.1 points to 27.84). Rodgers had his way against the Lions defense, completing 26 of 33 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns.
Cahokia Chickadees
"Not getting many opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for Cahokia Chickadees. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 14. With just 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
