Coach Talk

Tokyo RAMS
Kudos on assembling a lineup that earned over 141 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Yokohama Zets
Three running backs, two wide receivers, zero touchdowns: The five starting offensive skill players on Yokohama Zets collectively gained a healthy 348 total yards. None of those starters was able to find paydirt in Week 15.
