Coach Talk

Poxle Team
Hey Poxle Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 69 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 109.93. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
huangssss99 Team
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for huangssss99 Team. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 25 times in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 14 receptions.
