Coach Talk

Fighting Chichiwawas
Kudos to you, Fighting Chichiwawas. Assembling a starting crew that netted almost 116 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our Week 14 matchup.
Football Giants
"Not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Football Giants. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 13. With only 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
