Coach Talk

BerniesBandits
Nice job, BerniesBandits. Assembling a starting crew that won by 48.65 points in Week 9. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 10 matchup.
My Heart Ertz
My Heart Ertz may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 9. With only 19 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
