Coach Talk

Hrustin Cowboys
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Ravens at the wide receiver position (22.6 points to 10.6).
Ravens
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive position players (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Ravens collectively gained a whopping 379 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 14.
