Coach Talk

Axel
Mission accomplished, Axel. Good work deploying a lineup that recorded 206.78 points in Week 14. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our Week 15 matchup.
Mack North
With only two receptions on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Mack North should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
