Coach Talk

1x League Champ
Wow, 1x League Champ, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Along with a nearly 31-point victory, you also climbed from seventh place to fifth in the league standings... directly into the thick of playoff contention
Kyler and the gang
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 31 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched only 17 receptions.
