Coach Talk

larry's Team
Bravo, larry's Team. Nice job deploying a lineup that posted over 212 points in Week 14. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we head into our Week 15 matchup.
Outlaws
Unless Outlaws wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 23 times in Week 14. With only 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
