Coach Talk

Ego Crushers
Assembling a lineup that earned almost 118 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we step into our Week 13 matchup.
john's Top-Notch Team
A ton of action between the 20's: The six offensive position starters on john's Top-Notch Team (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record a healthy 405 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, could find his way to the end zone in Week 12.
