Coach Talk

DX
Well done, DX. Good work fielding a lineup that blew the opposition out by more than 43 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of TʜᴇB™, take this victory in stride, and continue pushing forward to the Hubris12™︎🏈The Intolerable💰© league championship.
TʜᴇB™
With just a couple of catches this past week, the starting RBs for TʜᴇB™ should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
