Coach Talk

Creepin TD
We wonder if the GM of Creepin TD was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.88 points, Michael Badgley (2-of-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember kids, every point matters!
Zoneblitz
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 32 targets in Week 14. With just 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
