Coach Talk

Mark (XFL News Hub)
Nice work deploying a lineup that recorded 174.68 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our Week 14 matchup.
Red Storm
Logging only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Red Storm should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
