Coach Talk

Naperville Endgame
Nice job, Naperville Endgame. Bravo on assembling a lineup that nearly exceeded triple digits this past matchup. We should keep this momentum going as we head into what ought to be a favorable Week 13 matchup.
Springfield Atoms
Unless Springfield Atoms wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 12. With just 11 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
