Oscar S's Team
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Oscar S's Team. Our running backs were thoroughly outmatched by the opposition. Todd Gurley II (58 total yards, no TDs) logged just 25 points in Week 14, and the starting backfield for 2nd down and 9 showed us up by recording a score of 68.
