Coach Talk

DITKA
Yo, DITKA, do you work at SpaceX or something? In addition to a 28.4-point victory, you also skyrocketed a whopping four places to fourth place in the league standings!
The Phantom Limbs
Unless The Phantom Limbs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 4. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
