Coach Talk

Ripsnorters
Nice job, Ripsnorters. Putting together a team that nearly got to the century mark this past week.
Chaka Khan
With four receptions on just five targets this past week, the starting RBs for Chaka Khan should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
