Coach Talk

Sidney's Sensational Team
Now that's what we call righting the ship... The GM of Sidney's Sensational Team shrugged off their two-game losing streak by logging a staggering 133.5 points this past week!
Tom's Deflated Balls
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 15. With just nine total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
