Coach Talk

Phillip's Team
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. In addition to doubling up Pantherpride at RB (69 points to 28.3), we also tripled them at QB (25.04 to 7.24).
Pantherpride
Wait, our starting QB tossed an interception and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Was Dak Prescott actually that shaky in the pocket, or were the Colts just that strong against the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Pantherpride, as you manage your lineup in Week 16 and beyond!
