Coach Talk

Sidney Dak Prescott
We do admire the confidence this past week, Sidney Dak Prescott. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Brett Maher), while still getting a win. Try those shenanigans next week and we'll be toast.
Runnin Gunmen
We just took it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 16, right? The seven starting offensive skill players on Runnin Gunmen (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively put up 311 yards and just one touchdown this past week. The skill players on Sidney Dak Prescott definitely outperformed us by logging 701 yards and four scores.
