Coach Talk

Dez Nuts
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Dez Nuts! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our quarterback was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Cam Newton went 25-of-37 for 357 yards and three touchdowns for JANICE GRIFFETH, and all Carson Wentz could muster was a 19-for-33 outing for 156 passing yards and three ugly interceptions. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 12!
JANICE GRIFFETH
The problem in Week 11 was pretty easy to diagnose, JANICE GRIFFETH. Going with the Los Angeles Chargers defense in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
