Coach Talk

Ligers
So what if you ended up taking a step back in the standings this past week... the important take-away here is that your team won the matchup. Stay laser-focused week-to-week and good things will eventually follow.
L.A. Golds
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 38 times in Week 4. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 22 receptions.
