Coach Talk

Titletown Champs
Props to you, Titletown Champs. Nice work deploying a team that blew the opponent out by more than 79 points this past matchup.
LOVE Brokers
Unless LOVE Brokers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to see a whopping 15 targets in Week 16. With just seven total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
