Coach Talk

carsonWEEntz
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we almost triple Started from the top at WR (25.6 points to 9.1), we also royally dominated them at QB (41 points to 8.04).
Started from the top
All kinds of action between the 20's: The six offensive skill starters on Started from the top (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) combined to register a healthy 390 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, no one from that group was able to score a touchdown in Week 13.
