Coach Talk

Firefighters
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put it, Firefighters. Our starting running backs were soundly outplayed this past week. Najee Harris (26 total yards, no TDs) logged just 9.7 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for tHe TrAiN sMaShEr showed us up by recording a score of 36.1. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
tHe TrAiN sMaShEr
Tis the season, tHe TrAiN sMaShEr! We hope the GM of Firefighters will send a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
