Coach Talk

WindyCity Rebels
Mission accomplished, WindyCity Rebels. Assembling a team that logged 143 points this past week. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 15 matchup.
Skins on the Warpath
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Skins on the Warpath. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 33 targets in Week 14. With just 17 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
