Chief
Listen Chief, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 101.36 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 86.96 we needed for this past week's win!
S.R.911
"Not getting enough looks" won't be a viable excuse this week for S.R.911. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 13. With just 12 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
