Coach Talk

Pantheon Hulks
Yo, Pantheon Hulks, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Along with a 46-point victory, you also jumped up from seventh place to fourth in the league standings... directly into the thick of postseason contention
Novaforce
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 17 targets in Week 14. With just eight total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
