Coach Talk

Bell Cows
Nice job, Bell Cows. Kudos on assembling a starting crew that nearly recorded 181 points this past matchup.
IT Ballers
Three WRs, two RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The six offensive skill starters on IT Ballers combined to register a healthy 399 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters could get into the end zone in Week 15.
