Coach Talk

Nana Nancy
Whoa, Nana Nancy, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. In addition to a nearly 21-point victory, you also climbed from fourth place to second in the league standings!
Zack's Unnamed Team
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 13 targets in Week 3. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only eight catches.
