We were just taking it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 16, right? The five starting offensive skill players on BoomGoestheDynamite (two WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record 332 yards and just one touchdown this past week. Our opposition's skill players made it tough on us by logging 535 yards and four scores.
