Coach Talk

Dipper
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters put up 126 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Joshua's Team (267 total yards to 141), and we ended up almost tripling them at the position (43.7 points to 15.6).
Joshua's Team
Unless Joshua's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 31 targets in Week 13. With just 19 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
