Coach Talk

L's Legendary Team
Whoa, L's Legendary Team, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this explosive showing. Not only did you win by more than 31 points, you also climbed from 10th place to seventh in the league standings... squarely into the thick of the playoff hunt
Raider4life
Raider4life may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 11. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group managed only 16 receptions.
