Coach Talk

Brian's Best Team
You know Brian's Best Team, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 107.49 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 95.96 we needed for this past week's win!
Bryan's Dazzling Team
Unless Bryan's Dazzling Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" is not a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in only 13 balls.
