Coach Talk

Philodox Eagles
Whoa, that Colts defense didn't stand a chance! 33 connections on 41 attempts... good enough for an 80 percent completion percentage for Deshaun Watson. We know the GM of Philodox Eagles has gotta be appreciative of that attention to detail.
Clutterboy Vikings
Recording only one measly target this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Clutterboy Vikings should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
