Coach Talk

Charlie's Angels
Whoa, Charlie's Angels, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this performance. Not only did you win by more than 72 points, you also climbed from sixth place to fourth in the league standings!
Pack Rats
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 29 targets in Week 8. With just 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
