Coach Talk

Austin's Team
You know Austin's Team, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 95.66 points through Week 13, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 81.08 we needed to win this past week!
Ferny Fiero's Team
Hey now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for Ferny Fiero's Team collectively logged just one measly target this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 15!
