Coach Talk

Yokohama Zets
Listen Yokohama Zets, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 13 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 13 stood at 124.09. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Purple Mountain
With only three catches on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Purple Mountain clearly need to investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
