Coach Talk

Red Chickens
Listen, Red Chickens, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play a player with zero points (MyCole Pruitt), while still earning the W.
TRAFALGAR STALKERS
All kinds of activity between the 20's: The six offensive position starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on TRAFALGAR STALKERS combined to record a healthy 376 total yards. Unfortunately, not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 16.
