Coach Talk

The Dog House
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by an awesome showing by Carson Wentz, we doubled up Cavemen at the quarterback position this past week (32.4 points to 13.26). Wentz went 28-for-46 for 310 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 37-31 loss to the Dolphins.
Cavemen
All kinds of action between the 20's: The six offensive skill starters (four WRs, one RB, one TE) on Cavemen combined to register a whopping 428 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters, unfortunately, was able to score a touchdown in Week 13.
