Coach Talk

SORRY 4 UR LOSS
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat this, SORRY 4 UR LOSS; our running backs were utterly outplayed this past week. D'Onta Foreman (75 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Dalvin Cook (36 yards, one TD) combined for just 9 points in Week 14, while the starting backfield for First-Rate Team doubled us up with a score of 19. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
First-Rate Team
Wait, our starting QB threw two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Were the Rams really that great defending the pass, or was Derek Carr just that inaccurate from the pocket? You'll need to decide one way or the other, First-Rate Team, as you set your lineup for Week 15 and beyond!
