Coach Talk

GoldDiggers
Assembling a starting crew that won by over 52 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into what will surely be a tricky Week 14 matchup.
Baby Chark
Unless Baby Chark wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed just 16 catches.
