Coach Talk

Diggers
Tight victories like this can be unbelievably important for team chemistry. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while succeeding in the face of adversity... expect the Diggers locker room to really gel entering Week 13.
BogutovacPasteers
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 19 times in Week 12. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just 10 catches.
