Coach Talk

Lambinators
Props to you, Lambinators. Nice job fielding a lineup that blew the opposition out by more than 27 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into our next challenge in Week 14.
The Carolina
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 34 times in Week 13. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 17 balls.
