Coach Talk

Mr. Hmong's Team
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, Mr. Hmong's Team. Our QB was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Kirk Cousins went 28-of-43 for 305 yards and three touchdowns for Mr Mime, and all Russell Wilson could manage through the air was 263 yards and one passing TD. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 14!
Mr Mime
"Not getting enough opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for Mr Mime. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 21 targets in Week 13. With just 12 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
