Coach Talk

No Way Out
Whoa, No Way Out, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by nearly 40 points, you also jumped up from third place to first in the league standings!
Hurts Like Hill
With one reception on only two measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Hurts Like Hill should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more often.
