Jumpsuit AL
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Jumpsuit AL! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our starting running backs were thoroughly outplayed this past week. Benny Snell Jr. (one yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Ronald Jones II (49 yards, no TDs) combined for just 5 points in Week 15. Leonard Fournette and Alvin Kamara tripled us up with a score of 16.2.
The Prodigal Son
