Hey Max, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than nine points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 12 stood at 85.7. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
AvengerRam
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied just nine receptions.
