Coach Talk

Hakuna Matata
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put this, Hakuna Matata. Our wide receivers were severely outplayed by the opposition. DJ Chark Jr. (18 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 6 points in Week 15. The pass-catchers for London Gentlemen almost tripled us up with a score of 17. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
London Gentlemen
Only one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Justin Tucker might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
