Coach Talk

Mediocre
Yo, Mediocre, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by almost 63 points, you also jumped up two spots in the league standings!
Eli's Excellent Team2
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for Eli's Excellent Team2 collectively recorded just a couple of receptions on four measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a screen play or two in Week 14!
