Coach Talk

Slight Optimism🤔
Wow, Slight Optimism🤔, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this dominant effort. In addition to a 25-point victory, you also jumped up from seventh place to fourth in the league standings... directly into the thick of the playoff hunt
Comeback Kid
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 40 targets in Week 6. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group managed just 23 receptions.
