Coach Talk

Cowboys
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield put up 311 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Pack Rats (438 total yards to 127), and we wound up almost tripling them at the position, 112.9 points to 38.23.
Pack Rats
Hey, our crew was just resting up for next week, right? The eight offensive skill starters (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Pack Rats combined to record 350 yards and just three touchdowns in Week 2. The skill players on Cowboys filled the statsheet by logging 700 yards and seven scores.
