Coach Talk

King Of The Hill
Getting the win is most important, King Of The Hill, but we certainly know of one spot where we can improve as a team... our running backs were clearly outplayed by the opposition. Our backfield produced just 7.5 points in Week 15. Isiah Pacheco and J.K. Dobbins nearly tripled us up with a score of 21.5.
Handyman
With just two catches this past week, the starting running backs for Handyman should remind their quarterbacks to dump it off more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
