Coach Talk

Jaymin
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. With good numbers out of the backfield, our crew took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed WE.Ted at running back (29.2 points to 11.2). Derrick Henry had 109 total yards and two TDs, while Leonard Fournette chipped in with 63 yards.
WE.Ted
Lots of action between the 20's: The six starting offensive skill players on WE.Ted (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to register a whopping 378 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, not one of those players was able to find the end zone in Week 14.
