Coach Talk

North Slope Nanooks
Yo, North Slope Nanooks, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. In addition to a 52.78-point victory, you also jumped up from ninth place to seventh in the league standings. Nice job!
Let’em Taunt
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 33 times in Week 5. With only 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
