Coach Talk

Keith's Victorious Team
Narrow victories like this are super important for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect the Keith's Victorious Team locker room to really gel riding into Week 15.
Howard's Legit Team
Unless Howard's Legit Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 14. With just 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
