Coach Talk

SPARK
Wow, SPARK, you put the rest of the league on notice with this victory. Not only did you win by almost 29 points, you also climbed a whopping three spots in the league standings... directly into the thick of playoff contention
Ravi's Team
Wow, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Ravi's Team collectively recorded just five targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 10!
