Coach Talk

JC's Browns 2
Nice work, JC's Browns 2. Fielding a team that tallied more than 136 points in Week 15.
Shropshire Titans
Unless Shropshire Titans wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 23 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group reeled in just 12 receptions.
