Coach Talk

Angeell's Team
Whoa now Angeell's Team, that's the sort of performance we love to see! A completion percentage of 83% this past go round for Mr. Efficiency... Uh, sorry, I mean Joe Burrow. That Steelers secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Angeell's Team has got to be grateful for this type of efficiency and attention to detail.
Runnin' Rebs
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 23 targets in Week 12. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 13 receptions.
