Coach Talk

Disco Stu
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield logged 172 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Steel Falcons (326 total yards to 154), as we ultimately nearly quadrupled them at the position, 49 points to 13.
Steel Falcons
We were just taking it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 16, right? The seven offensive position starters (three WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Steel Falcons collectively put up 405 yards and just one touchdown this past week. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 601 yards and three scores.
