Coach Talk

Professor Chaos
Mission accomplished, Professor Chaos. Good work assembling a team that registered 160.72 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky challenge in Week 15.
Nah Son
Nah Son will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 33 targets in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded only 20 receptions.
