Coach Talk

R2-D^2
Assembling a starting crew that earned over 156 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we step into our Week 14 matchup.
Eyeshield 21
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 42 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group reeled in only 21 balls.
