Coach Talk

Nerd Herd
Props to you, Nerd Herd. Putting together a lineup that logged 130.62 points in Week 14.
Amanda Hugginkiss™️
Unless Amanda Hugginkiss™️ wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 31 times in Week 14. With only 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
