Coach Talk

Dez Nuts
Nice job assembling a lineup that tallied 118.46 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our next challenge in Week 14.
chicago bears
Unless chicago bears wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 21 targets in Week 13. With only 12 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
