Coach Talk

Vikes
Good work, Vikes. Fielding a starting crew that earned almost 153 points this past week. We should keep this momentum going as we step into what could be a winnable Week 10 matchup.
Łąki Wielkie
Łąki Wielkie will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 34 times in Week 9. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in only 18 balls.
